AÂ new program is helping Mesa residents catch up on rent owed â and avoid water and electricity turnoffs.
Last month, after providing $7 million in rent assistance through the Mesa CARES program, the city received an additional $15.7 million in federal funding for âMesa residents who are financially impacted by COVID.â
Two weeks into the 2021 Emergency Rental and Utility Assistance Program (or ERAP), 87 households received $452,000 in assistance, with $426,000 for rent owed and $25,000 for utility bills.
The city was processing nearly 700 more applications for ERAP, which is targeted for those who âdemonstrate they have been impacted by COVID,â such as loss of a job and/or income reduction.
The resolution was approved unanimously by magistrates, and if the first round of funding is depleted, the county may be able to get another round of $200,000.
Magistrates also approved the appointment of Matthew Baker to the Hopkinsville-Christian County Airport Board. Baker will take over the seat for Tony Jones, who asked to leave the board at the beginning of the month. Kenneth Bates was also re-appointed to the board after a one-year term. Both will serve on the board through December 31, 2024.
The next Christian County Fiscal Court meeting will be Tuesday morning, February 23, at 8:30.
