Jeff talks about the COVID-19 Hospitality Industry Recovery Program (CHIRP) grant award that Jefferson County received. He also goes over the Emergency Rental Assistance Program.
Jeff notes that for-profit hospitality businesses can begin applying for CHIRP grants starting March 15.
The application form and additional information can be found at jefferscountypa.com or you can call the Department of Development at 814 849 3047.
Jeff said the CHIRP grant is set up in $5,000 increments. He said the county will review the applications and try to ensure that every applicant gets some. He noted that any business that has not received money prior to this grant will receive priority over businesses that have already received some kind grant funding.
Jeff said that the county partnered with Community Action for the Emergency Rental Assistance Program.
He said that anyone who is interested can visit compass.state.pa.us or call Community Action at 814-938-3302.
Jeff encouraged residents to apply and noted that the monies in both programs get sent back to the state government if the county does not use them.
