The Industry Relief Program (IRP) was established to provide direct financial support to our "front line" apartment industry professionals who were laid off or furloughed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.  This is the industry's way of paying it forward for our colleagues and peers who have supported the rental housing industry through the "good times."  

This page provides information, criteria, and a link to what you will need to complete the application.

Information

The "IRP" will provide $500.00 (one time only) direct financial support to qualified and approved applicants.  The Fund is intended to provide stop gap funding and assist with costs such as housing, transportation, food, and so forth.

Each Monday, beginning April 13th, 2020, online applications will open for submission at 9:00 am.  The number of approved contributions will be determined by the AAGO Foundation, and may change week over week depending on availability of funds.
