Rent, Utility Assistance for Kentuckians Available Starting February 15 Kentucky has newly available COVID-19 rent and utility relief! Starting Monday, February 15, Kentuckians can apply for assistance, dating back to April 2020. Governor Andy Beshear announced Thursday, February 11, that Kentucky recently received $297 million in federal Coronavirus Relief Funds to help prevent evictions for renters impacted economically by COVID-19.

All three programs will offer the same rent assistance to approved applicants – 100 percent of past-due rent, dating back to April 2020, and up to three months of future payments.
