Fairfield COVID-19 Recovery Fund
This fund has been established by the Town of Fairfield to provide limited, one-time assistance to Fairfield residents who continue to be adversely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Requests may exceed the funding; consequently, financial assistance will be granted on a first come, first served basis.
Applications may be submitted via email, USPS (regular mail), or in person. Supporting documentation will be required in order to process the application (see next page).
Applicants must also demonstrate that they have exhausted any other assistance funds or available resources for which they may be eligible. The application and review committee may refer applicants to other resources as appropriate.
Applicants must be current on all tax obligations to the Town of Fairfield at time of application.
Financial assistance will be considered for housing and essential household costs such as utilities; child care; auto loans and expenses; medical bills and health care expenses; other bills upon request and explanation, excluding credit card debt; business and investment losses, or any other expenses/losses unrelated to the pandemic or deemed inappropriate by the application and/or review committee.
