The City of Greensboro wants you to know that if you are behind on your rent or mortgage payments because your household has been affected by COVID-19, financial assistance is still available from funds provided by the CARES (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security) Act. Of the $5.5 million awarded by the federal government, over $3 million has been earmarked to help residents with housing assistance.
The timeframe, which previously was only between April 1st-June30th of last year, has been extended, and applications are still being taken. So if your rent or mortgage payments have been behind by at least one month since last April, you could qualify for assistance under the CARES act.
Qualified Greensboro residents can apply for up to $1500 in assistance to pay a mortgage or up to $1900 to pay rent and utilities. Assistance is available as a one-time payment or as three monthly payments.
