The City of Pasco and Franklin PUD have partnered to help our customers (residential and business) with their utilities who have been financially impacted by Covid-19. ARPA funds are available to our customers within Pasco city limits that meet the program guidelines and certify financial hardship.
Also, The Tri-Cities HOME Consortium (the Cities of Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland) has awarded $700,000 to Benton Franklin Community Action Committee (CAC) to administer an emergency, short-term, tenant-based Rental Assistance Program helping low income-qualified families and individuals living in Kennewick, Pasco, or Richland who are experiencing financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic with rent and utility assistance. The program will provide past-due and/or upcoming rent and utility, per qualifying household. Payment will be made directly to the household’s provider.
Franklin County is also providing assistance, in cooperation with Benton County, for residents.
