Security and Utility Deposit Program

Security and Utility Deposit Program

This program aids low-income Mesa families and individuals with the refundable portion of their security deposit and utility deposit. In order to qualify, families and individuals will need to be approved for eligibility. Payments are made directly to the landlord and utility provider.

  • Eligibility is based on income requirement limits at or below 80 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI).
  • Security Deposit and Utility Deposit applications and required documentation must be submitted to the Mesa Housing Authority office.
  • Utility Deposit application, if being requested, must accompany a Security Deposit application.
  • Landlord and utility providers must be willing to accept a "letter of intent" for payment guarantee.
  • All units must be inspected before the assistance can be finalized.

NOTE:

  • Units MUST be inspected before the assistance can be approved.
  • We cannot assist with security deposit if you’ve already moved into the unit and/or signed a lease.
  • Landlord must agree to terms of the program.
  • Assistance is based on availability of funding.
