GREENSBORO, N.C. — Qualified Greensboro residents can now apply for one-time, emergency rent/utilities, and mortgage assistance in light of the effects of COVID-19 on the economy.
That's because the City of Greensboro has received about $2 million from the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
According to a release from the City of Greensboro, the application process is different depending on if you are a renter or homeowner. Both programs are being coordinated by the City’s Neighborhood Development Department, which has earmarked more than $713,000 for rental and utility assistance and $100,000 for mortgage assistance.
In order to qualify for either program, your home has to be within the Greensboro city limits and those applying must be at least 18-year-old with a household income of less than 80 percent of the Area Median Income.
