Students, faculty and staff who live in Morgantown city limits may be eligible to receive additional COVID-19 CARES relief thanks to the City of Morgantown CARES Assistance Program.
The City of Morgantown and the United Way of Monongalia and Preston Counties have partnered to distribute $400,000 in COVID-19 CARES relief to people in need. The program is open to all residents in Morgantown who have been affected by COVID-19 and need help paying rent, mortgage or utilities.
To apply for rent, mortgage or utility assistance, applicants must be residents of Morgantown; have experienced negative financial impact due to COVID-19; and can provide verification of a lease, mortgage or rental agreement and/or late utility payments. Cooperation with applicants, landlords or mortgage lenders, and utility companies is also required. Mortgage assistance is only available for a primary residence.
Food assistance will be handled primarily through area food programs.
