The number of people in the Emporia area who receive emergency federal housing assistance is slowly increasing. The latest data from the Kansas Housing Resources Corporation shows as of Monday, November 22, 94 households in Lyon County were approved for rental aid. The number was 76 in late October. The total amount provided in Lyon County is $281,378.98. That computes to almost $3,000 per family. … Congress approved the aid earlier this year as part of the COVID-19 response act, to protect families from eviction. Landlords and tenants must apply for the aid together.
