Cleveland County was approved to receive a $6.4 million U.S. Treasury Emergency Rental Assistance grant, but residents canât apply for it just yet, county officials said.
With the amount of money the county received, Cleveland County Commissioner Darry Stacy said the county wanted to be sure it distributed the funding fairly and equitably, which is why people cannot yet apply for the grant.
This grant is meant to help those who have been affected financially by COVID-19 and are in danger of losing their home, helping those residents cover rent and utilities, that if not for the grant, would go unpaid.
