Resources for Residents Affected by COVID-19
The City of Orem understands many area residents are struggling to pay for their housing and utilities and meet basic needs due to job loss and other effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. We as a City want to make sure you have the needed information and resources to help you weather the current storm. Below are some local resources, including flyers in both English and Spanish, that can assist you during this difficult time. Please reach out if you have questions, we are here to help.

- The Utah Housing Assistance Program can help renters who are unable to pay their rent and utilities due to circumstances related to COVID-19. You may be eligible for rental assistance if you meet both of the following requirements:
- Combined gross income at or below 100% area median income (the agencies below can help you determine that)
- Experienced a loss of income or financial hardship related to COVID-19.
- Visit https://rentrelief.utah.gov/ for more information.
- The CDC issued a federal eviction moratorium for all renters at risk being evicted to help prevent the spread of coronavirus. The moratorium goes into effect Sept. 4-Dect 31, 2020. Qualified renters must provide a signed declaration to their landlord. The federal eviction moratorium includes a sample declaration. Renters can still be evicted for the following reasons: (1) conducting criminal activity on the property; (2) damaging the property; (3) violating building codes, health ordinances; and (4) violating the rental contract (other than the timely payment of rent, late fees, etc.).
- Circles of Utah Valley are looking for participants who want to permanently move out of poverty. The organization is also looking for volunteers. Find out more info here.
- Community Action Services and Food Bank has funding to help with food, rent, and utilities. For more information, call (801) 373-8200 or look online at https://
communityactionprovo.org/ emergency/.
- Department of Workforce Services is offering applications for a Pandemic-EBT program, a nutrition assistance program for school aged children who were eligible to participate in free or reduced price school meals during the 2019-2020 school year. Visit their website for more info.
