    The NC HOPE Program is now averaging 14-18 days from application to payment, ensuring renters and landlords can get relief quickly. If COVID is affecting your ability to pay rent or utilities, APPLY FOR HOPE ASSISTANCE at or call (888) 9ASK-HOPE.

    Since the HOPE Program opened last fall, more than $324 million has been awarded to help NC families, with over $230 million already paid to landlords and utility providers statewide. We’ve even had landlords identify their tenants who could benefit from this so they can sign up.

    Time to tip and toss! Mosquitos can breed in just a teaspoon of water. After rain, and at least once a week, dump any standing water at your home.

    A sad milestone in Mecklenburg County. The COVID-19 vaccine is safe, free and incredibly effective at preventing severe disease, hospitalization and death. Get it if you are eligible. It may save your life.

    We are saddened to mark the 1000th COVID-19 death in Mecklenburg County. We extend our condolences to all of our residents and community members who have lost loved ones, friends and colleagues during the pandemic. If you have not yet gotten the vaccine, please get it now. It will help protect you, your family, your friends and our community.
