GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga — The portal for Gwinnett County’s emergency rental assistance program is closing soon, the county announced.
Project RESET 2.0 was created on April 2021, when Gwinnett County was had to divvy out around $55 million from the federal emergency rental assistance program with the goal of helping those directly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The county received an additional $38.9 million to support its Project RESET 2.0 emergency rental and utility assistance program, because it was recognized as a top performer, according to the county.
