CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Charlotte Observer) - More emergency rent assistance is expected for Mecklenburg County in the new federal relief package, at a time when initial COVID-19 housing aid was running out locally and across North Carolina.
The next relief bill, which President Donald Trump signed late Sunday, includes $25 billion in emergency rent assistance, of which North Carolina is expected to get $700 million. It also extends the federal eviction moratorium one month, until Jan. 31, and would provide for stimulus checks to individuals and parents.
