On September 29, 2020, the Lake County Board of County Commissioners voted to allocate $15 million in CARES Act funding for resident assistance. Eligible Lake County residents may receive up to $4,000 in rent or mortgage assistance as reimbursement of funds already expended or as a direct payment to a landlord or lender for past due balances; past due rent or mortgage is not a requirement for eligibility.

The Phase 2 application has been optimized to streamline the process. Applicants are encouraged to do the following prior to completing the application:

• Preregister at https://lakecountyfl.submittable.com/submit.
• Read the Coronavirus Relief Fund Housing Assistance Program’s Frequently Asked Questions.
• Review the eligibility requirements.
• Prepare and scan the required forms and documentation.

For additional program details and information, visit www.ReopenLake.com#cares. Additionally, the CARES Act program helpline will activate on Monday, October 26 at 1 p.m., and will remain available from Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at 877-927-1057
