Everyone deserves a second chance.

Our Rent Assistance Program helps prevent homelessness by providing emergency assistance to individuals and families facing an unexpected financial challenge.

For eligible households, our program can potentially assist with up to one month of past due rent. N2N cannot assist with future months of rent to ensure priority for those facing the greatest risk of homelessness.

If you have a question, please call our N2N Assistance Line at (970) 829-0296, select option 1, and leave a message. Someone will return your call, typically within three business days.

Changes to the Pre-Application Process

The need for emergency rent assistance remains at a critical level in our community. As a result, N2N receives more requests for help than we can assist with the limited funding we now have.

In our commitment to provide equitable help for as many households as possible, N2N has transitioned to a randomized selection process. Previously, our online pre-application form automatically closed once our monthly threshold had been reached. Now, N2N will accept all eligible entries for one 24-hour period each month, providing equal time, and equal chances, for every household’s pre-application to be selected. Please be aware that selection does not guarantee financial assistance will be awarded. 

 

What To Expect:

  • N2N’s online pre-application forms will be open from 12:00 AM until 11:59 PM on the pre-determined day.
  • Only one submission is allowed per household. Duplicate submissions for a household will be considered invalid.
  • To ensure equity in the selection process, once the pre-application window closes, eligible entries will be randomly chosen using a computer-generated number process. 
  • The order of submission on pre-application day will not impact the selection process. For example, an entry at 12:05 AM on Feb. 3 will have the same chance of being selected as an entry at 11:58 PM on Feb. 3.
  • After the pre-application closes, all entries will be notified by email of their selection status within three business days. You will be informed whether your entry was randomly selected or not selected. 
  • If your entry is selected, you will receive instructions by email on how to proceed with a rent assistance application. Please be aware that selection does not guarantee financial assistance will be awarded.
  • If your entry was not selected, you may submit a new entry the following month during pre-application day.
  • If you lack access to technology or experience technical difficulties, please call or visit N2N during business hours:
    • N2N Fort Collins 970-484-7498  (1550 Blue Spruce Dr, Fort Collins, CO 80524)
    • N2N Loveland  970-663-4163  (1511 E 11th St, Suite 210, Loveland CO 80537)
