North Carolina Wake County GOP issued the following announcement on Apr. 7.
Understanding the added strain COVID-19 has placed on individuals or families with children living in hotels, Raleigh City Council unanimously voted to allocate $100,000 to two non-profits to assist these members of our community.
The City will enter into contracts with Passage Home and Triangle Family Services for $50,000 each.
While state and county partners are working with local hotel owners to effectively address the matter, city leaders feel this needs an all-hands-on-deck approach to produce a positive outcome in a timely manner.
Criteria for eligibility:
- Limited to individuals or families with children living in hotels as of March 1, 2020.
- Must be able to document COVID-19 lost wages due to business closure or reduced hours.
- Prior to COVID-19 lost wages, household income at or below 50% AMI ($46,350 for a family of 4).
- Assistance amount based on documented lost wages and not exceeding $2,000 per month.
- Assistance payments made directly to hotel operator/manager
