**Hark at Excellerate Foundation | ERA Communications Update**
In partnership with Benton County, our goal has been and will continue to be to distribute Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) program dollars as efficiently as possible to residents that need it most in the midst of this pandemic. We will continue to communicate with you as things change or updates are made. Please see below.
Since February 2021, Benton County and Hark at Excellerate Foundation have partnered to distribute nearly $15M in rental assistance to county residents through ERA. As we approach the end of those funds, Benton County has worked hard to acquire additional available funding in order to continue meeting those needs given the recent spike and potential future spikes in COVID cases. While this additional funding has been approved, Benton County administrators expect a brief lag time until those funds are transfered from the U.S. Treasury. Unfortunately, there will likely be delays in the distribution of rental assistance funds until those dollars are received. We expect at least a one week delay in fund distribution.
**Changes are coming January 1st, 2022 to the Benton County Rental Assistance (ERA) program. Please read.**
Throughout the course of the ERA program, Benton County has monitored the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on county residents, revising program policies as needed to ensure that the level of financial assistance available matched the severity of conditions on the ground. As businesses have reopened, mask mandates have expired, and the unemployment rate has stabilized to pre-pandemic levels, Benton County is again making changes to reflect the current environment.
The following ERA policies for Benton County will go into effect on January 1, 2022:

**Hark at Excellerate Foundation | Actualización de comunicaciones de ERA**
En asociación con el condado de Benton, nuestro objetivo ha sido y seguirá siendo distribuir los dólares del programa de asistencia de alquiler (ERA) en la manera más eficiente posible a los residentes que más lo necesitan en medio de esta pandemia. Continuaremos comunicándonos si algo cambia o realizan actualizaciones. Por favor, lea más abajo.
Desde febrero de 2021, el condado de Benton y Hark en Excellerate Foundation se han asociado para distribuir casi $15 millones en asistencia para el alquiler a los residentes del condado a través de ERA. A medida que nos acercamos al final de esos fondos, el condado de Benton ha trabajado arduamente para adquirir fondos adicionales con el propósito de continuar satisfaciendo las necesidades siendo que los casos de COVID han aumentado recientemente y posiblemente van a subir más. Aunque han sido aprobadas las finanzas adicionales, los administradores del condado de Benton esperan un breve tiempo de retraso hasta que esos fondos sean transferidos del Tesoro de los Estados Unidos. Desafortunadamente, es probable que haya retrasos en la distribución hasta que se reciban esos dólares. Esperamos al menos un retraso de una semana en la distribución de fondos.
**Los cambios llegarán el 1 de enero de 2022 al programa de Asistencia de Alquiler del condado de Benton (ERA). Por favor lee:**
A lo largo del programa ERA, el condado de Benton ha monitoreado la pandemia de COVID-19 y su impacto a los residentes del condado,revisando lo necesario de las políticas del programa para garantizar que el nivel de asistencia financiera disponible coincida con la gravedad de las condiciones actual del condado. A medida que las empresas han reabierto, los mandatos de máscaras han vencido y la proporción de desempleo se ha estabilizado a los niveles previos a la pandemia, el condado de Benton está haciendo cambios nuevamente de acuerdo con nuestro estado de hoy en día.
Las siguientes políticas para el condado de Benton comenzarán el 1 de enero, 2022
