COMMISSIONERS ALLOCATE NEARLY $34 MILLION FOR STRUGGLING RENTERS
The Franklin County Commissioners this morning voted to approve four grants allocating $33,737,156 for rent and utility assistance for struggling Franklin County residents. The grants are part of $50.6 million in reallocated Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) funding that the county secured from the federal government in recent months, and will be divided among the Homeless Families Foundation, IMPACT Community Action, the Legal Aid Society of Columbus, and the commissioners’ own Job and Family Services agency.
