In York County, rent and utility help is on the way York Dispatch York County residents facing financial difficulties due to COVID-19 will soon have access to nearly $30 million to help pay for rent and utilities thanks to federal and state funding programs. The county received about $16.2 million from the state's rental and utility assistance program and another $13.4 million from the federal government, said York County Commissioner Julie Wheeler. "One of the positive attributes of the program is there isn't a cap on the monthly rent," she said. A previous assistance program had a maximum cap of $750 a month for rental assistance, Wheeler said.
