The Hays County Commissioners Court approved an item to establish three temporary positions to assist with the Hays County COVID-19 Emergency Rental Assistance Program during Tuesday's meeting.
“There is a huge amount of federal help headed our way and this is just a key component in maximizing the resources ear marketed for this county,” Hays County Judge Ruben Becerra said.
In January 2021, the U.S. Treasury Department awarded a direct allocation to Hays County for an Emergency Rental Assistance Program. Hays County will use a portion of this allowable administrative fee to hire temporary staff to provide assistance to the Veteran's Administration Office to process veteran's applications, the Auditor's Office for processing all applications for payment and the Treasurer's Office for review and release of all payments related to the program.
