Need still high for rental assistance in South King County as eviction moratorium bridge expires
this weekendAfter a slow start, King County's Eviction Protection Rental Assistance Program (EPRAP) is fully operational and processing payments at its top speed, but the county will still have thousands of open applications after the eviction moratorium bridge expires on Sunday, Oct. 31.
Leaders say South King County has the largest need for additional rental assistance and expect more people to still sign up.
"We know that there are communities that still need to get help, and that we have an obligation to go out and find them because those are often the communities that are the highest risk of eviction," said Leo Flor, Director of the King County Department of Community and Human Services.
The county is working to reach people in multiple ways. Starting Nov. 5 and every other Friday until Dec. 17, the parking lot at King County Fire District 20 in Skyway will transform into a pop-up resource center. One of its goals is to sign people up for EPRAP.
