Democrats on Capitol Hill and housing advocates say that tenants in rural areas are still suffering from Covid’s economic fallout but may have missed out on the funds because local aid programs failed to reach them.
Cleaver — whose home state of Missouri is nearly 40 percent rural and had spent just 23 percent of its first round of rental funds as of Oct. 31 — said in an interview that big cities have organizations that exist solely to stir activism around high-quality rental housing.
The senior official said the department is aware that states with rural areas have had a harder time connecting with vulnerable tenants and that it can be difficult to accurately assess need as a result. Sen. Jon Tester says his state — led by Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte — has imposed “severe red tape” on the aid distribution process. Aid applicants must provide income documentation, a copy of their lease and documents demonstrating their need, such as a past-due rent notice or utility shutoff bill,. Treasury has encouraged program operators to rely on applicants' self-attestations of need and income.
