Pandemic Era Housing, Food Assistance Coming To An End Next Month

(Salt Lake City, UT) — Utahns have until February 5th to apply for the Emergency Rental Assistant Program. This comes after Congress passed an omnibus bill and halted pandemic-era funding. While the state is accepting applications until February, the remaining 30-million will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis. The move by Congress also ends the additional SNAP emergency allotment in February. There are 74-thousand households in Utah enrolled in the SNAP program.
