August 28, 2021

From the Fulton County Department of Community Development:

Fulton County residents living outside the city of Atlanta can apply for emergency assistance for rent and utilities (water, gas, power) resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Residents must meet eligibility requirements established by the federal government, including:

  • One or more individuals within the household has qualified for unemployment benefits or experienced a reduction in household income, incurred significant costs, or experienced other financial hardship due, directly or indirectly, to the COVID-19 outbreak;
  • One or more individuals within the household can demonstrate a risk of experiencing homelessness or housing instability; and
  • The household’s income is at or below 80% of the area median income.

Households affected by unemployment for 90 days or more, households with incomes at or below 50% AMI, and households with documented eviction will be prioritized.

The program offers funding for up to 15 months arrears/past due rent, up to 3 months prospective/future rent, and up to 15 months of past due utility bills. There is no award cap for rent and utilities.

Individuals who could benefit from this program are encouraged to visit the following website https://www.fultoncountyga.gov/renthelp – for more information and to apply for assistance.
