On October 5, 2022, at midnight, the Dane CORE 2.0 Neighborly application portal opened back up – the criteria for DANE CORE 2.0 has changed. Please review the criteria below.

For more information, click here.

Urban Triage and Dane County Human Services proudly present our rental support program as part of the Dane County CORE 2.0 collaboration with the City of Madison, Community Action Coalition (CAC), and Tenant Resource Center (TRC). 

Staff and Volunteers at Urban Triage are eager to provide exceptional customer service to our community through our stigma-free call center and in-person drop-in hours for residents who live outside of the City of Madison. Supports include rental arrears, forward rent, and security deposits. We've improved processes to ensure prompt allocation of funds and callbacks. 

As of October 6. 2022, Urban Triage has processed over $18 million dollars in rental support to residents outside of the City of Madison. Processing time is approximately 30 calendar days from the date that ALL documents are received from the tenant and landlord. Please ensure all documents are submitted on the front end to shorten processing time. READ the requirements carefully below.

The Dane CORE Application is an online system that tenants and landlords can access to complete the application for rental assistance. Due to federal regulations, there is no paper application form for the program.

Payment processing will occur 1/x a month and will continue until funds are exhausted.

We're here to serve you. We hear you. We see you. We are you. 

For questions, please call our customer care line at 608-299-4128.
