214 Lancaster County businesses receive COVID-19 relief grants as county program reaches $41 million distributed

Businesses recommended for grants in the latest round include Annie Bailey’s Irish Public House in Lancaster, which could receive $40,000, and the Red Carpet Inn in Lancaster Township, approved for $10,000. The full list if businesses is published with this story on LancasterOnline.com. Eligibility questioned On Tuesday, Commissioner Craig Lehman suggested that one business, John J. Jefferies Restaurant of Lancaster, should be removed from the list of grantees because management declared they would not observe COVID-19 restrictions imposed on indoor dining by Gov. Tom Wolf. The guidelines of the grant program require that applicants be in compliance with all federal, state and local laws.

COVID-19 housing assistance leaves gaps; here s how Lancaster County organizations aim to fill them

Justin Eby spent months sounding the alarm about the state’s $150 million rent relief program. Eby’s concerns began in July when the program was launched and his team at the Lancaster County Housing and Redevelopment Authority was tasked with creating a process to disburse the county’s share of the relief funds — $2 million — to renters who had experienced job loss due to COVID-19. It was immediately evident to Eby that the program was plagued by problems: the application process was complicated and time consuming; the requirement that renters be 30 days in arrears limited the pool of eligible renters; and the legislatively mandated monthly rent cap of $750 discouraged some landlords from participating, meaning their tenants’ applications would be denied.
