Overview
Fact (page-stated): the Community Action Rental Assistance Fund (CARAF) is open in Phase 3. Maximum assistance is $650 per household, available for past-due rent or mortgage only, and the landlord or mortgage holder must agree to accept payment. Fact: the page carries the notice 'Please note that CARAF funds are now exhausted. Applications are still being accepted and will be placed on a waitlist.' Inference: applications remain open but awards depend on the fund being replenished; the program has run in phases, so a Phase 4 is plausible but not stated. Served area: Erie County, New York, through the Community Action Organization of Western New York.
