I'm wondering if anyone else has done this?

Have not done it, but know of the program. There was a talk show segment on the radio about it last week. Apparently it is over subscribed right now, but they are adding in more money. Problems with the program exist though and they will have to put in some checks as apparently, once you are approved, they give you the money and dont check that it has actually been used for rent. So I guess some landlords have not got the rent due them.
I dont know how to access it, sounds like you have the number, do as they suggested.
