HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — The City of Huntsville is partnering with the Alabama Housing Finance Authority (AHFA) to offer $4.5 million in emergency rental assistance (ERA) to the Rocket City's residents. This assistance was designed to provide help with rent and utilities to lower-income residents who experienced hard times during the COVID-19 pandemic. ERA is funded through the U.S. Treasury Department. Alabama's part of the program focuses on renters in the state's rural counties. 'Areas with higher populations generally have more households who rent,' said AHFA Multifamily Administrator David Young.
