Henry County understands how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted small businesses. During this challenging time, we want to learn more about your business and additional ways Henry County can provide support.
In the coming weeks, we will be conducting a vendor survey. The purpose of this survey is:

1. To understand your interactions with our Purchasing Department.
2. To understand your past experiences so we may improve future opportunities to utilize small and local businesses.
3. Remind you to register or update your vendor information in our Vendor Self-Service System.

Vendors registered in our Vendor Self-Service System will receive an invitation to take the survey. This survey will be open from April 12, 2021 through April 23, 2021. The survey is expected to take less than 5 minutes. If you chose to participate in this survey, please be thoughtful, honest, candid and compete all questions. The information we capture will be kept confidential and we will not share your personal or company information with anyone. Upon completion of the survey analysis, results of this survey will be posted on the County’s website.

If you have any questions about the survey – or if you experience any difficulty in completing this survey – email vendorsurvey@p3delivery.com or if you have question regarding Purchasing, please email purchasing@co.henry.ga.us.

We appreciate your engagement and value your time.

With a population exceeding 200,000 people, Henry County received $7M for the Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) directly from the U.S. Treasury. Therefore, at this time we are not participating in the Department of Community Affairs' (DCA) Georgia Rental Assistance Progam (GRA). The GRA covers all other jurisdictions that did not receive their own funding. 

Our program will address the rental and utility needs of Henry County citizen renters negatively affected by COVID-19. (Please note that Henry County continues to provide other rental assistance to individuals via our Non-Profit partners under our COVID-19 Response grants). ERAP funding is new money that will have different eligbility criteria and a different application process.

Please watch this site and our social media outlets in the coming days to learn about eligibility and how to apply for the Henry County Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP). Thank you.

Individual Assistance

Henry County offers reimbursements to local Non-Profit agencies which provide direct assistance to individuals. Although Henry County Government does not award direct assistance to individuals under this program, if you are a Henry County individual citizen or family in need of food, rent or mortgage assistance, utility assistance or other COVID-19 related negative impacts, you may be eligible for assistance under one of the following Non-Profits (check back as new agencies are added after they are approved at each Board of Commissioners meeting). Each Non-Profit Awardee serves different needs, so please visit their websites to determine your eligibility or for more information.

*Please note that each Non-Profit agency has its own eligibility criteria. Henry County Government does not determine the eligibility of individuals seeking direct assistance from Non-Profits and has no authority over the award or decline of applications for direct assistance from any Non-Profit Awardee agency, so long as the agency's use of county funding follows federal, state, and local laws in its vetting, awarding, operational and financial administration processes.
