Roswell entered into an agreement with North Fulton Community Charities to administer the COVID-19 Residential Relief Grant Program. The agreement runs through Mar. 22, 2022. NFCC was granted $400,000 to administer for residential COVID relief for Roswell residents. As of June 30, NFCC had administered $198,640 of the available funds.

The Roswell City Council voted recently to extend the application deadline to receive all hardship applications to Dec. 31, 2021 and extend the hardship time from June 30, 2021 to Nov. 30, 2021.

The program provides financial assistance for mortgage or rent, utilities (gas, water, electric), and childcare expenses. Payments are made directly to rental/mortgage companies, utility providers, and childcare facilities.
