Orange County will reopen the application portal for Individual and Family Assistance Program with new criteria on Monday, November 16, 2020 at 8 a.m.
The updated eligibility will now include other adult members of the same household to apply as individuals for the financial assistance. This new criteria will make it possible for roommates and other family members residing in one household, who’ve been impacted by COVID-19 and over the age of 18, to be eligible to apply
Residents can access the portal directly at ocfl.net/CaresForResidents. Information on the webpage ocfl.net/OrangeCARES is updated to reflect the latest information.
The system will allow up to 15,000 users inside the application portal on the reopening day to submit their documentation for a $1,000 grant. Residents need to review the eligibility criteria, and prepare all required documents before applying. Please note the following:
Orange County has invested a total of $60 million of local CARES funding into the Individual and Family Assistance Program and has processed more than $35 million dollars, which has helped over 35,000 households.
