Roswell plans to award more than $296,000 in COVID-19 relief funds to nonprofits that benefit low to moderate income residents affected by the pandemic. The funds are from a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development grant made possible through the CARES Act.

Officials most want to assist projects related to education and job training services, child care services, senior services and public facility improvements, a statement from the city said. The city also want applications focused on health and safety measures for Roswell residents.

The application deadline is 5 p.m., Sept. 15.
