Is there a deadline for when I need to submit an application for this program?: Yes. All applications must be received by 5:00 pm on June 30, 2022. At that time, City Council may revisit the need for relief and may choose to extend the program, or they may choose not to extend it. We encourage you to submit your application early as there are limited funds available. Demand for this program is expected to be high and applications will be funded on a first-come, first-served basis. Should available funds be expended prior to June 30, 2022 and City Council decide not to increase the funds approved for the program, Round II would end on the date the approved funds have been exhausted (even if this is prior to June 30, 2022).

COVID-19 Residential Assistance Program - Round II

1. Am I eligible for relief assistance even if I don’t have a City of Fairview utility account?: Yes, as long as your residence is served by Fairview utilities.

2. I live in a duplex or apartment complex and my landlord pays the utilities – am I eligible?: Yes. We encourage you to apply. Any relief granted will be in the form of a check to be used to assist in paying your rent.

3. I’m a landlord with a property in Fairview. I pay the utility service – am I eligible for relief?: No, landlords are not eligible for relief. However, your tenants may apply and use the relief they receive toward their rent.

4. My spouse and I have both been negatively financially impacted by COVID-19 and have a Fairview utility account. Are we eligible for more than one relief award?: No, in order to assist the largest number of residents, the program is limited to one relief award per property (apartment complexes may receive multiple relief awards, but only one relief award per unit).

5. I was unemployed due to COVID-19. The unemployment I’ve been receiving from the State of Oregon and Federal Programs exceeds what I would have brought home had I been working. Am I still eligible?: No, since your lost income has been made up via alternate programs, you are not currently eligible.
