COVID-19 has made us all re-evaluate the way we do things and NAM is no exception. We take the safety of our clients, volunteers, and staff very seriously. NAM continues to evolve during these unprecedented times. To keep up with health guidelines and ensure social distancing, we have updated our website to accept online applications for help with rental assistance.

Everyone needing rental assistance will no longer have to come to NAM and stand in a long line. We will now only accept applications that are filled out on our website. NAM will randomly select 100 applicants every Thursday afternoon from the completed online applications and contact them to schedule an appointment to come in.

If your application is not selected the first time, you may resubmit for the following week. You DO NOT need to fill out the application again, but you will be offered the convenience of resubmitting online. If necessary, you may resubmit your application once every week until you are selected.
