This includes apartment renters, those renting single-family homes, condos, attached homes AND those who are homeowners behind in mortgage payments. Details on THREE programs are below.
EVICTION / RENTAL ASSISTANCE
Cobb County has partnered with Star-C to help people impacted by COVID19 avoid evictions in affordable/workforce apartment communities. Visit www.star-c.org/eviction-relief for more information or call 404-698-3781.
