Pilot program aids landlords and tenants in Cedar Rapids area
A new landlord tenant pilot program opened in November aims to ease housing challenges by paying tenants up to 700 for education and case management. Only one tenant has connected with a landlord so far, note J nae Peterman, housing systems manager. Some landlords declined due to high rent, while others showed interest but no units opened. The program partners with Junior League of Cedar Rapids to provide move in kits and aims to adapt to needs until funds run out or a sustainable model emerges. Interested landlords can contact Adrienne Kasner at Waypoint Services.
