Rental Funds

Start by reviewing the Program Guidelines to make sure you and the property meet all eligibility requirements, and to gain a deeper understanding of how the program works.

Find a rental property in Eagle County that meets the program’s eligibility requirements. Make sure the property is available for a 12-month lease or longer, and that the landlord is willing to participate in the program. You will need details about the property and the landlord for your application.

The landlord will be required to submit a signed W-9 and a copy of the executed lease as part of the process.

Gather the following documents to support your eligibility:

• Valid government-issued photo identification

• Asset disclosure (most recent 6 months of bank statements)

• Income disclosure (most recent tax return)

• Proof of residency (utility bill, lease, financial statement, showing your current address)

• Proof of employment at an Eagle County business (2 most recent pay stubs or an employment offer letter)

• Proposed 12-month lease agreement (or longer)

Document Upload Guidelines:

• Photo IDs: Upload in JPG or PNG format only.

• All other documents: PDF format is preferred.

Note: You do not need to complete the application at this stage. Once your supporting documents are ready, we will provide you with access to the application.

Following these guidelines will help ensure your application is processed quickly and without issues.

Contact the Program Manager to schedule an appointment to verify eligibility and review documents. If everything is in order, you will receive a link to the electronic application, along with a blank W-9 form for your landlord to complete. The landlord can either provide the completed W-9 to you for upload with your application or submit it directly to the Program Manager.

The Program Manager’s contact information is listed below.

Fill out your electronic application and upload all required supporting documents:

• Valid government-issued photo identification

• Asset disclosure (most recent 6 months of bank statements)

• Income disclosure (most recent tax return)

• Proof of residency (utility bill, lease, or financial statement showing your current address)

• Proof of employment at an Eagle County business (2 most recent pay stubs or an employment offer letter)

• Proposed 12-month lease agreement (or longer)

• Landlord signed W-9 (You may upload this with your application or have it sent directly to the Program Manager.)

Document Upload Guidelines:

• Photo IDs: Upload in JPG or PNG format only.

• All other documents: PDF format is preferred.

Important: Do not sign a lease until you receive program approval. This ensures you are eligible for the program before making any commitments.

Once your application and supporting documents have been reviewed, you will be notified of your program approval status via email.

• If approved, you will be required to sign additional documents. At this point, you may proceed with signing your lease and coordinating with your landlord and the Program Manager for the next steps.

• If your application is denied, you will receive an explanation of the decision and information about any next steps or options for reapplying, if applicable.

Once you are approved for the program, you may sign your lease with the landlord.

The Program Manager will coordinate directly with your landlord to provide the first month’s rent payment.

The landlord is required to provide a signed W-9 and a copy of the executed lease. The signed W-9 can be uploaded with your application or sent directly to the Program Manager.

With your first month’s rent paid by the program and your security deposit paid by you, you’re ready to move into your new home.
