Programa de Vivienda Safe Harbor (“Puerto Seguro”)

¿Es usted un inquilino que tiene pagos de alquiler atrasados debido al COVID-19?

¿O es un arrendador cuyos inquilinos necesitan ayuda para recuperarse? Si es así, usted podría sacar provecho del Programa de Vivienda conocido como Safe Harbor (“Puerto Seguro”).

El Programa de Vivienda Safe Harbor es una iniciativa para evitar el desalojo de viviendas, la cual fue diseñada para ayudar a los arrendadores e inquilinos de Rhode Island a resolver las disputas por alquileres atrasados ​​o por falta de pago, sin tener que pasar por el proceso judicial tradicional.

Si usted es un inquilino o un arrendador, puede presentar su solicitud enviando la Solicitud para Inquilinos o la Solicitud para Arrendadores, las cuales se encuentran en la parte inferior de esta página. Pero primero, siga leyendo para ver si usted califica.

¿Qué ofrece el programa?

Para los hogares que califican, Safe Harbor puede ayudar con hasta seis meses de atraso en alquileres acumulados a partir del 1 de marzo de 2020.

También pudiera haber servicios legales disponibles para aquellos inquilinos que no cuentan con representación de un abogado.

¿Quién califica?

La ayuda está disponible para los inquilinos con ingresos elegibles que estén pasando por dificultades financieras debido a la emergencia del COVID-19 y que, como resultado, estén en riesgo de ser desalojados de sus viviendas. Los arrendadores pueden iniciar el proceso de solicitud en nombre de los inquilinos que ellos creen que son elegibles.

Para recibir asistencia, los inquilinos deben cumplir con los siguientes criterios:

  • El hogar debe tener unos ingresos de 80% o menos del Ingreso Mediano del Área, ajustado de acuerdo al número de personas que conforman la familia; y
  • El hogar debe estar en mora debido a dificultades financieras causadas por la emergencia del COVID-19.

Para participar en el Programa de Vivienda Safe Harbor, los arrendadores no necesitan presentar una queja de desalojo contra un inquilino. Sin embargo, si usted ya ha presentado una queja contra un inquilino con quien ahora desea participar en Safe Harbor, el personal del programa trabajará con usted para resolver tanto un acuerdo de pago como la queja que ya ha presentado.
