HAYS COUNTY — Hays County has provided over $2 million in financial relief to residents through its COVID-19 Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) Program.

The ERA program was created after the county received federal funds from the U.S. Department of Treasury to contribute rent, utilities and housing stability to qualifying households that were affected by the pandemic. Hays County currently has approximately 400 open tickets, 130 pending citizen completion, 25 under Auditor review and 230 under case worker review, according to data given at the March 29 Commissioners Court meeting.
