In response to the  personal financial crisis that many residents are facing due to the impact of COVID 19,  Hanover County is working with community partners to provide direct assistance to those in need.  Hanover County has partnered with United Way of Greater Richmond & Petersburg to distribute funding to eligible 501c3 organizations which provide emergency financial (housing and utility)  and/or food resources to Hanover residents.  

United Way, citing its campaign partnership with Hanover County Government, has agreed to administer these funds without any administrative fee.  Moreover, United Way will work with Hanover County Government to ensure that the funds are spent appropriately in order to maximize their benefit to the intended population.   The funds have been made available by the Hanover County Board of Supervisors from the County’s Coronavirus Relief Funds under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.

Administration of the organization applications and sub grantee fund reporting will be coordinated by United Way of Greater Richmond & Petersburg.  Funds must be used for direct assistance to individuals or families in need of housing related financial assistance (including mortgage, rent or utilities) or those in need of food/nutrition assistance.  Organization applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until all funds are distributed. Organizations must maintain administrative documentation and reporting details related to service provision. All funds must be expended by December 30, 2020. Nonprofit agencies do not have to already be in the United Way network to receive funding.
