Colorado Emergency Rental Assistance (CERA) offers limited, short-term help for eligible Colorado renters who are behind on rent and at risk of eviction. Applications are reviewed through a random-selection process, not first come, first served. Assistance, eligibility, maximum awards, and funding are subject to current program rules and availability; no payment is guaranteed. The CARE Center can explain options by phone or text. This is not an emergency shelter or walk-in rental payment office.
