BEND, OR -- NeighborImpact launched a new rent and mortgage assistance program this week for people living in Bend. Funding comes from the city and includes $90,000 toward housing payments.
Households making 80% of the area median income or less - based on family size - are eligible to apply for financial help, mentoring on household budgeting and financial coaching. For a family of four, that income limit is $76,150 a year, and $53,350 for a single-person household.
Applications are accepted at NeighborImpact’s website or at the nonprofit's Bend office (20310 Empire Ave.). Completed and eligible applications will be reviewed on a first-come, first-seved basis.
