How do I apply?
This isn't clear yet. The U.S Treasury Department says you will be able to apply through programs set up by states and some local governments, which are still sorting their processes out. latimes.com/business/story…

Will I get the money directly?
The money is supposed to go directly to your landlord or utility company. If they deny it, the money can be paid directly to you. Your landlord can also apply on your behalf but needs your consent to do so. latimes.com/business/story…

Is more money coming?
Potentially. On Thursday, President-Elect Biden released his "American Rescue Plan" that includes an additional $30 billion in rent and utility relief. Congress would have to approve the spending. latimes.com/business/story…
