Rent Evictions Delayed Until Oct. 3

ROXBORO--The Centers for Decease Control and Prevention's (CDC) moratorium on evictions due to non-payment of rent has been extended to Oct. 3, 2021. 

RHA residents are required to pay rent if financially able to and to avoid eviction after the moratorium.

The moratorium allows RHA to evict residents for all other lease violations, including criminal and illegal activities on or off RHA properties and for not complying to re-certification requirements to name a few examples. 

Rental assistance funding through a state-run program called Project Hope will be provided when authorities release the process.

Residents must contact Mr. Froncello Bumpass, RHA housing manager, at (336) 583-5626 to set up a repayment agreement.  After establishing a plan, RHA staff can assist residents with the Project HOPE rent and utility assistance application.

HCV residents can call Brad with Person Co. Section 8 at (919) 606-2788 for more information about the moratorium for that HUD rent subsidy program.
