The Texas Rent Relief Program is closing its portal for applications after being swarmed with requests just 24 hours into its launch.

The Texas Rent Relief Program has $98 million available to help people with rent and utility bills, and people will soon be able to apply for those funds.

Housing advocates worry some Texans won’t get the help they need as the state enters the cold winter months.

“Unfortunately, those delays caused a lot of pain, headaches and heartaches in terms of people just trying to keep a roof over their heads for themselves and their families,” said state Rep. Philip Cortez.
