August saw a marked rise in the amount of emergency rental aid paid out to needy tenants, although the Treasury Department says that more needs to be done to accelerate the payments.

The department said in a Sept. 24 statement that more than $2.3 billion in rental aid payments were disbursed to more than 420,000 households nationwide in August, an increase from the $1.8 billion that reached 340,000 households in July.
