JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Northeast Florida Community Action Agency is opening applications today to any citizen that needs help with paying rent and utilities because of COVID-19.
The organization was granted $5 million through the CARES Act to help give households relief.
Anyone from Baker, Clay, Duval, Flagler, Nassau, Putnam or St. Johns counties can apply.
“We are honored to receive these additional funds to help as many residents in Northeast Florida as possible during this challenging time,” said Executive Director Kimberly Ray. “We recognize that some individuals that have never needed to seek assistance before might be facing hardships. We encourage families to reach out to NFCAA and see if they qualify for any of our services.”
Appointments can be made online or over the phone at 904-362-8052. Applicants must have copies of social security cards for everyone living in the household, and proof of income for everyone 18 years or older living in the household.
