The City of Claremore is dedicating a portion of its CARES Act funding to support citizens in need of financial assistance for utilities and mental health services, according to a press release.
The programs are designed to help offset the economic and social effects of the Coronavirus pandemic and ease the financial burdens of our most vulnerable citizens and the organizations they rely on to provide them with services.
The Claremore COVID CARES Act Utility Assistance Program will launch on Aug. 1, 2021. Claremore residents with delinquent utility accounts who have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and meet the low-to-moderate income guidelines as established by HUD can apply for funding. A total of $330,000 has been allocated and will be available to Claremore residents to bring delinquent accounts current and help alleviate future utility services financial hardships until the fund is expended.
