On April 14, Tampa Mayor Jane Castor announced details of the City’s new
One Tampa: Relief Now, Rise Together fund and its first relief plan in partnership with the Crisis Center of Tampa Bay and The Tampa Bay Chamber. This COVID-19 Rent, Mortgage & Utility Relief Plan will provide direct rent, mortgage, or utility (water,
gas, and electric) payments for eligible individuals, families, and businesses for one month--offering a lifeline to bridge the financial gap as many wait for state and federal funds to become available. For individuals and families who reside within the City
of Tampa, and meet other employment and income-qualifying criteria, the program will cover up to $1,000 for rent or mortgage paid directly to the landlord or mortgagor, and up to $250 for essential utilities.
For qualifying small businesses in the most vulnerable business sectors that have a physical location within one of the City of Tampa’s low income census tracts or one of its community redevelopment
areas, the City will cover up to $4,000 for rent or mortgage, and up to $1,000 for utilities. The goal is to offer critical financial assistance to the most in-need residents and business owners in our community. Those who may have lost their jobs, who have
experienced pay cuts, or are working to keep employees on the payroll. Eligibility information is currently available online. Applicants will be able to apply online, by phone, or by mail by filling out an online qualifying questionnaire, which will be available
at noon on Friday, April 17th for individuals/families, and on Tuesday, April 21st for small businesses.

Subject: [Americans for the Arts] Donation Fund Question
[External]
Hello All,
We have legislated a COVID Relief Fund that allows the City to accept and deploy funds related to community needs (including Arts and Culture). Do other cities have donation funds for COVID, and what are they prioritizing?
Thanks for your consideration,
Randy
