CARES rental and mortgage assistance update
What the county recorded
This item is not from the published agenda
It is a stretch of the recording that this archive identified as a separate matter — a call to order, a recess, or something taken up that the agenda does not list. There is no official title, no staff recommendation and no disposition, because the county never recorded one. Everything below is inferred.

Uh Mr. Biles.
Uh yes, sir, just uh quick update on a couple of programs that we're working through the CARES funding. Uh the the pat the rental and mortgage assistance program and we had over a thousand applicants for that and we've to date dispersed over a quarter million dollars uh to those that have made it through the process and been approved uh to get payment. And we're making those payments directly to the vendors. You know, not not to the applicants. The Operation Feed Pasco, that's our partnership with United Way uh with some FEMA Uh COVID
money uh we have now served over seven thousand meals and that only started on the seventh of May, so less than a month and we serve over seven thousand meals. Um With the dining out at home, again that's more f focused on our seniors. Uh we've served over eleven thousand meals um in the last month and a half. and now have cut um almost two hundred off the waiting list and we're hoping to cut more uh soon off the waiting list there. And with the PPE reimbursement program to
date Well, as of yesterday evening we've had two hundred and fifty seven people or businesses sign up for that and we are starting to process and the first reimbursement should go out later this week. So that's where we are on a variety of those uh Keris programs. Uh So and we'll get a more formal report out with updated numbers probably later this week to the board. Yeah, that's all I have, Chair.
Okay, so I think Commissioner Starkey has a question for you from the school board. Commissioner, did you have a question for Mr. Biles?
