Deadline for financial relief is Dec. 22

Applications for the Hays County COVID-19 Relief Program that was implemented by Hays County and BR3T are currently being accepted. The program provides assistance with mortgage, rent, and utility payments for Hays County residents who can show COVID-19 related job loss, job reduction, or inability to work.

“Our community has come together to help those who need it most and I encourage all those who need assistance to apply,” Hays County Judge Ruben Becerra said.

Using COVID-19 funds, Hays County has partnered with community-based organizations to provide assistance to Hays County residents. Grant applications will be evaluated based on need. Administered by BR3T and funded by Hays County, awarded funds will range from $500 to $5,000. Applications will be accepted until December 22, 2020.

The grant application can be found at the Hays County website at https://hayscountytx.com/covid-19-information-for-hays-county-residents/ or at BR3T.org
