Hays County Commissioners Court voted unanimously to approve the use of American Rescue Plan Act Funding for a Rental/ Utility Assistance Program for Hays County residents at their regularly scheduled meeting last week. The program will be run through the Blanco River Regional Recovery Team.
Hays County Budget Officer Vicky Dorsett said the contract is for $980,000 with $20,000 for the part-time position at the auditor’s office.
Hays County Commissioner Precinct 1 Debbie Inglasbe said she also wanted to thank Hays County Commissioner Precinct 2 Michelle Cohen and Hays County Commissioner Precinct 3 Lon Shell for financially supporting the Rental/ Utility Assistance Program alongside her. She said the Blanco River Regional Recovery team has worked with the county in the past and is currently working with the city of San Marcos on a similar program.
