Johnson County Commissioners, Linda Greenough, Bill Novotny and Bob Perry
Johnson County will receive just over $43,000 from the US Department of the Treasury for the Emergency Rental Assistance Program, or ERAP, to help with those in the county that have had problems paying rent, utilities or internet services due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
County Commission Chairman Bill Novotny explained more about the program during their recent meeting.
The county will partner with Family Crisis Center for distribution of funds for the program.
The program is designed to go to the property owner to pay rent or utilities, as opposed to the renter who may have fallen behind with those expenses, according to discussions at the meeting.

April is National Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The Family Crisis Center in Bottineau partnered with Dakota College at Bottineau to create a community awareness event marking a one mile long decorated trail. The trail is unique as it is also the future Dakota College Agro-Forestry Path proposed in the Large-Project Orchard and Garden Grant.
Along the trail, walkers will see promotions that support healthy relationships, boundaries, consent, and bystander intervention. This is designed by FCC to provide community awareness about sexual violence along with education on how to prevent and strengthen individual and community efforts.
The community is invited to walk the trail any time from Saturday, April 24th through Friday, April 30th. Selfies encouraged throughout the walk and social media links will be posted along the way.

Pratt is unique in its small-town ability to help people needing help. Three local organizations available here for those seeking assistance are the Hope Center, Circles of Hope, Pratt County, and Prairie Independent Living Resource Center, Inc. (PILR, pronounced Pillar). These three programs function independently, yet as they work together, more people are helped.
“These organizations work together so no one group is spinning its wheels,” said Pam Ford, Director of the Hope Center. “We are cohesive so real help happens.”
The Hope Center is the hub of help in town. Its purpose is to offer a coordinated and partnered approach to serving the community and to meet the needs of individuals and families. Within the Center one can find the Agape Health Clinic, the Paper Pantry (goods are supplied by the Episcopal Church), and the Hope Emergency Food Pantry.
