NEW STIMULUS CHECKS $3,600 4th Stimulus Check Update

Millions of dollars are available to Rhode Islanders who are behind on their rent or utility bills.

The money will be coming from the Federal Emergency Assistance Program called Rent Relief R.I.

The money will also be available for landlords behind on mortgages.

Governor Dan McKee joined Senator Jack Reed on Friday to urge residents to sign up.

McKee stated, “This could be the difference between families getting stay, you know, to be able to stay in their homes, and families not knowing where they’ll be sleeping tonight.”

The eviction moratorium is set to end at the end of June, so make sure you don’t miss out on these programs.

Meanwhile, the White House made clear on Friday that President Biden was opposed to letting the federal gas tax rise at the rate of inflation to help pay for an infrastructure package.

The gas tax increase was part of an early package that called for $579 billion in new spending on roads, bridges, rail, and public transit.

It’s still unclear if it will make the final cut and the White House seems intent on making sure it doesn’t.
