Pandemic rental assistance approved

The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners voted 5-0, at its March 16 meeting, to allocate $4.5 million for an Emergency Rental Assistance Program to distribute coronavirus relief funds to eligible residents who are unable to pay rent and utilities due to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a press release.

Cherokee County received the funding directly from the Department of Treasury and will partner with MUST Ministries, Inc. to help administer the program.

MUST Ministries anticipates a program launch date in early April, at which time they will host an online client intake portal to accept applications.

The maximum amount of rental assistance available is $5,472 for MUST’S Emergency Assistance Program.

Renters can apply for rent and utility relief for up to three months, and may contact MUST at (770) 790-3926 or (770) 7903927.
