The Arizona Department of Economic Security’s (DES) Rental Assistance Program is available statewide for renters and landlords. For information about the program’s eligibility requirements and how to apply, visit: des.az.gov/ARAP

Several large counties and cities, including Maricopa County, Pima County and Yuma County, received funding directly from the federal government and have launched their own local rental assistance programs, which are separate from the DES program. To check into resources that may be available in your county, visit the links below.
