Chesterfield County:
As of December 14, 2021, Chesterfield County's Rent and Utility Relief Program provider, ACTS, has received requests for rental assistance in excess of the available resources from the U.S. Department of Treasury. ACTS has closed the application portal to ALL new requests unless additional resources are made available. ACTS will continue to distribute the program’s remaining funds until all funds are expended. Priority will be given to Chesterfield households earning 50 percent or less than area median income, those where one or more individuals has been unemployed for a 90-day period preceding the date of application, those with children under the age of 18, and those with seniors age 65 and older. All households that submitted an application prior to December 14, 2021, will be contacted by an ACTS caseworker with an update on the status of their application and availability of resources.

At this time it is unknown if and when Chesterfield County will receive additional federal funds for rental assistance. Chesterfield County has operated its own rental assistance program, and Chesterfield County residents are not eligible for the Virginia Rent Relief Program (RRP) offered by the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development.

Other emergency financial assistance resources are available through the Chesterfield-Colonial Heights Department of Social Services, visit https://www.chesterfield.gov/569/Social-Services, email the department, or call 748-1100.
