Mortgage, rent and utility aid available for Hamilton residents
Updated Feb 08, 2021;
Hamilton Township’s Department of Community and Economic Development has secured more than $650,000 of its federal Community Development Block Grant CARES funds to assist qualifying local residents with utility, rent or mortgage payments.
The township’s Mortgage & Rental Relief Assistance Program applications will be reviewed by the township in coordination with Arm In Arm, a local nonprofit agency that assists Mercer County residents with food, housing and job support.
The program will allow for rental, mortgage or utility assistance to low and moderate income households that have had a substantial reduction in income or became unemployed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The emergency rental or mortgage assistance grant has a cap of $10,000 throughout a period of six months. All approved applicants will be reviewed at the three-month interval to see if they are still in need of assistance.
