Rental Counseling & Assistance
Our Housing and Financial Wellness team at Benjamin Rose is here to connect you with counseling to help you stay in your home. Let us guide you through your options if you’re struggling to pay rent and utilities and find the solution that works best for you!
Notice on ERA-2:
In October of 2023, Benjamin Rose, in partnership with Cuyahoga County, launched Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA-2), for older adults at risk of eviction or utility disconnection due to a COVID-related hardship. ERA-2 at Benjamin Rose will end on Monday, June 30, and we are no longer taking new appointments.
If you are an active client and still need to turn in documents to your counselor, please make sure we receive these by Friday, June 13th. If your documents are not received by this date, your file will be closed.
Final payments due to landlords will go out by US Mail, July 8, 2025.
Benjamin Rose has been proud to collaborate with our non-profit partners and housing stakeholders to provide these services on behalf of the County when they were most needed.
