More Brazos County renters are qualified for pandemic grants to pay for their housing.
That was part of the update given by Bryan Jones of the Brazos Valley Council of Governments (BVCOG) during this week’s county commission meeting.
Commissioners hired BVCOG earlier this month to award more than $6 million dollars in federal grant money to renters who meet income requirements.
While eligibility is still based on income, renters don’t have to be behind on making payments or have been evicted.
Jones says they are contacting applicants who were initially turned down to reapply.
BVCOG has until the end of September to approve applications and until the end of 2021 to distribute grants.
Application information is online, at the bottom of the home page at brazoscountytx.gov.
