Dallas County required more qualification than needed and approval from DC compliance DC finance depts and DC commissioners court. then gave me rental assistance only thru EHAP-2021 instead of ERA1&2. Ehap-2021 has a 12 month limit i was told utilities benefits at all. When I figured out they switch me to a substandard county program I demanded to be provided ERA benefits that I applied for.
