Applications for the Iowa Rent and Utility Assistance program will be accepting applications starting Monday. 

Applications will open at 2 p.m. on Monday, as the program is designed to assist Iowans who have been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. 

The program will assist with rent payments of past due payments or up to three months of future payments, along with past due utility payments with future payments not covered and can be received for up to 12 months of combined assistance with eligible renters being able to apply for both types of assistance.
