Funding Opportunities through EDA

Under the American Rescue Plan, Economic Development Administration was allocated $3 billion in supplemental funding to assist communities nationwide in their efforts to build back better. With an emphasis on equity, EDA investments made under the American Rescue Plan will directly benefit previously underserved communities impacted by COVID-19. See below for a list of funding opportunities:

Rent and Utility Assistance Available

The NC Housing Opportunities and Prevention of Evictions (HOPE) Program offers emergency rent and utility assistance to eligible households. Households with an income limit of 80 percent of the area median income for the county where the applicant lives may be eligible for this program.

HOPE Program is now taking landlord referrals, as well. Landlords whose tenants are struggling to pay rent due to the pandemic can submit names and contact information using the HOPE Program website.
