HOUSTON – Tens of thousands of residents have applied for the Harris County COVID-19 Relief Fund, according to a press release. Due to the high volume of applications received, Harris County said they need more time to process, select and match applicants with the appropriate community-based organization. Applicants will be notified of selection and community-based organization match by June 30, through originally set to be on June 26. “The staggering number of applications we received only goes to show the immense magnitude of need across Harris County,” said Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo. As of Thursday, a total of 2,381 households in Harris County have been served or were in the process of being served.
