The application shall be filed each year for which the applicant seeks the rental assistance.
Under Amesbury, Mass., Code of Bylaws CH. 376 § 376-16, any person wishing to receive rental assistance through § 376-12 must submit a completed application to the Office of Economic and Community Development before a set annual deadline. The application must be accompanied by documentation of the applicant's filed income tax return demonstrating the Circuit Breaker tax credit.

While § 376-16 primarily governs applicant obligations, property owners and managers whose tenants may be seeking rental assistance under this program should be aware that the Office of Economic and Community Development administers the application process on an annual basis. Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with the program's documentation requirements — including the Circuit Breaker tax credit verification — so they can accurately respond to tenant inquiries. Staying informed about program deadlines can help landlords anticipate and plan around assistance-related payment timelines.
