TOMPKINS COUNTY, N.Y.—Starting Monday, June 1, the New York State Emergency Rental Assistance Program is open for applications for people who need help making ends meet, at least in part because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The program is designed to "provide significant economic relief to help low and moderate-income households at risk of experiencing homelessness or housing instability by providing rental arrears, temporary rental assistance and utility arrears assistance." Locally, people who are applying can call 2-1-1 for help with their application, and New York State Assemblyperson Anna Kelles has said her office can help with applications as well.

To be eligible, applicants must have a household gross income at or below 80 percent of the Area Median Income (see the link for each county's AMI by household size), a member of the household must have "received unemployment benefits or experienced a reduction in income," has a rent obligation and must be "at risk of experiencing homelessness or housing instability," demonstrated by having rent debt after March 13, 2020.

Those households with rental arrears may be eligible for assistance with paying utility arrears. The state lists potential ERAP benefits as 12 months of rental arrears payments for rent debt accumulated after March 13, 2020, up to three months of additional rental assistance if a household is spending 30 percent or more of its monthly income on rent, and up to 12 months of electric or gas utility arrears payments for debts accumulated after March 13, 2020.

Information from New York also states that priority will be given to households with lower incomes, as well as criteria concerning veteran service, domestic violence situations, residence with a small number of dwellings, dealing with unemployment, etc. More information is available at the assistance program's site, as well as what materials people need to have on-hand while applying for the assistance.

Dungeon Keeper 2? - NAG 3 Questions: Kestra Financial’s CTO on FinTech - Barron's Posted: 31 Jul 2019 10:53 AM PDT 1. What's the biggest unmet fintech need for advisors? While I applaud that all the major vendors seem to be focusing on more integrated advisor and investor experiences, far too many of them are solving to that by rushing to the same unrealistic spot. They all want to be your "portal" or your "one stop shop." What we need instead are industry standards for the exchange of complex data (like financial plans, proposals, and performance data) so that it isn't only easier to integrate different best-of-breed systems together, but it's easier for advisors to move with confidence betw...

beyond the valley 2022 :: Article Creator All The Fun With None Of The Buzz, The Story Behind Montana's Only Non-alcoholic Bar Hold My Bar is a fascinating blend of contradictions. It's a bar that observes Dry January all year, serving zero-proof and non-alcoholic drinks. But it's not just any bar — it's a 1976 horse trailer transformed into a prohibition-era oasis. And despite its modest Instagram following, Hold My Bar has a dedicated fan base that travels to farmers markets in Whitefish, Columbia Falls, and Kalispell for a taste of its refreshing concoctions. Since February, Hold My Bar, Montana's first non-alcoholic bar, has been a hub of community activity. From its vintage horse trailer, uniquely named beverages like "The Witch Doctor" and "Magical Rose Margarita" are served al fresco, both in the Flathead Valley during weekday markets as well as at pop-up locations across the state. On Tuesdays and Th...

sarasota music festival :: Article Creator Musicians Playing By Ear In Improvised Sarasota Music Festival Concerts Cellist Mike Block has warm memories of the two summers he spent studying and performing as a fellow at the Sarasota Music Festival in 2003 and 2004. "It was the combination of the music, the people and the weather. The Sarasota Music Festival was the only festival I ever returned to when I was student age," Block said. He's returning for the first time this summer as a faculty member who plans to shake things up and hopefully change how the participants – and audiences – think about and perform music. Block began exploring improvisation and non-Western music during his undergraduate years at Cleveland Institute of Music and while earning his graduate degree at Juilliard, and since then, "my professional direction has taken me very explicitly away from Western classical music. The things I'm most passionat...
