BACKGROUND
Background
Guilford County will receive approximately $20 million in additional Emergency Rental and Utilities Assistance (ERA) funds from the state to assist citizens that are unable to pay rent and/or utilities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The City of Greensboro has expended its state funding due to an overwhelming need for rental and utility assistance for city residents. In order to continue the County's support of the City of Greensboro's ERA program, the County and the City have entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) allowing an initial allocation of $2 million of this ERA funding to the City to be used exclusively for rental and utility assistance, with further distributions of up to $10 million to be made based upon monthly reimbursement requests for expenses that meet ERA requirements and include all required reporting information.
