The Jefferson County Commission is closing applications for its federally funded Emergency Rental Assistance Program. The County has expended the majority of its funds and has determined that that applications in process will exceed the dollars available for this program. This program was to help renters that were negatively impacted by COVID-19 and needed help with rent and utility bills. To date, the county and its partners have provided assistance to over 4,000 households and expended $34 million dollars in direct assistance.
