READING â The Town of Reading will offer emergency mortgage and rent relief to households under a new joint initiative with Reading Co-Operative Bankâs charitable foundation.
According to Reading Business Administrator Jayne Wellman, eligible receiptients under the grant program could receive as much as $5,000 in financial assistance to cover up to two-months worth of rent or mortgage payments.
Those interested in applying for the special relief, which will come from a limited amount of federal COVID-19 aid available to the municipality, must fill out an application no later than 5 p.m. on Dec. 21. Awards will reportedly be granted sometime before the start of 2021.
