Kentucky's Healthy at Home initiative reopened on February 15, 2021 to assist those impacted by the pandemic with rental and utility assistance. Eligible applicants can receive up to 100% of utility bills issued April 1, 2020 or later, plus three months in additional funds towards their future utility bills. Payments are made directly to the utility.
The program will close when funds have expired, so it's important to apply now through the Team Kentucky website. If you have applied in the past, you will need to complete a new application.
The goal of this program is to assist Kentucky tenants with rent and/or utilities to keep them housed throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The program also provides relief to landlords who are owed substantial payments for back rent. By providing relief, Healthy at Home also aims to reduce the number of evictions.
This program is for renters only. Homeowners at risk of foreclosure should contact should visit the Kentucky Homeownership Protection Center or your local Community Action Agency. This Healthy at Home application is available to all Kentucky residents outside of Fayette and Jefferson County. Here are the separate applications for Lexington-Fayette County and Louisville-Jefferson County.
