Renter’s Rebate Program
Renter’s Rebate is a state funded program of reimbursement for elderly or totally disabled Connecticut renters. This program is designed to supplement rent and utility payments by restoring a portion of their limited income. Elderly or disabled individuals who rent apartments, rooms, live in cooperative housing, or a mobile home may be eligible for this program. The amount awarded to the rent is calculated on the previous year’s rent and utility payments. The Department of Human Services serves as an intake site for the Connecticut Office of Policy and Management. The Renter’s Rebate program runs annually from May 15th through September 15th.
