Through the TN Community CARES grant from the State of Tennessee, CCETN is able to provide assistance in EAST Tennessee to those who have been financially affected by COVID 19. The assistance will be in the form of a direct payment to your mortgage company, landlord or utility company. We can help with folks that also have basic needs and food needs. To qualify for the program, you must be able to attest to the following: You are having difficulty paying, or are behind on, your payment due to economic issues caused by the financial downturn during the COVID-19 crisis and you must be able to show you live in TN. Financial support for COVID related issues is available from dates of March 1, 2020 thru November 10, 2020. Application deadline for support is November 10, 2020. Contact covidrelief@ccetn.org or call Catholic Charities at 865-963-4730. Monday-Friday 9AM to 3PM (Spanish language support is available Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9AM to 3 PM.)
