Williamson County: COVID-19 "How Can I Help?" http://www.wilco.org/howcanIhelp
For non-emergency questions, please call the Williamson County COVID 19 call center: 512-943-1600. It is currently operating from 8 a.m to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday.
Email questions to COVID-19@wilco.org.
For non-emergency health related questions, please call the Williamson County & Cities Health District: 512-943-3660.
If there is an emergency, call 911 from anywhere in the county to have an officer respond. In cases where there is not an emergency, please call the main number for the Sheriff's Office at (512) 943-1300.
Williamson County is encouraging all county residents to follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations to wear face coverings when they are out in public. The CDC emphasized that social distancing remains the best practice to help reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, they are advising people to take the extra safety measure by using cloth face coverings in places where social distancing may be difficult to enforce to help people who may have the virus and do not know it from transmitting it to others.
The Williamson County Parks and Recreation Department will be closing all county parks and trails at sunset on Thursday, April 9, until sunrise Monday, April 13. The decision to close these facilities and outdoor locations is an effort to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 and prevent residents from being exposed to the virus during the busy holiday weekend.
Testing Centers:
Call your healthcare provider if you are experiencing fever, cough or shortness of breath and have recently traveled from an area with ongoing spread of COVID-19 or have been in close contact with someone known to have COVID-19. It is important that you call first so they can evaluate your risk and determine if they need to see you in person so that other patients are not potentially put at risk.
There are also a number of urgent cares, emergency rooms, etc. that are testing. It is important that you call first so they can evaluate your risk and determine if they need to see you in person so that other patients are not potentially put at risk.
Housing Concerns: The Texas Supreme Court has halted all evictions until late April. Until then, a tenant in Texas CANNOT be evicted..
CARES Act Eviction Protection
The CARES Act, signed into law Mar. 27, 2020, provides 120 days of eviction relief for tenants in federally-backed housing. Specifically, you may not be served with an eviction notice until July 25, 2020 and the notice must give you 30 days to leave the property (Aug. 24, 2020).
During the 120 day eviction moratorium, your landlord may not charge you late fees, penalties, or other charges for paying your rent late. It's important to note that the eviction moratorium does not relieve you of your obligation to pay your rent. It merely forbids your landlord from evicting you during that period for late payment.1
Rental Housing Covered by the Eviction Moratorium
The temporary moratorium on eviction filings pertains to any rental housing that is:
-
Covered under section 41411 of the Violence Against Women Act of 1994 (34 U.S.C. 12491(a); or
-
Covered by the rural housing voucher program under section 542 of the Housing Act of 1949 (42 U.S.C. 1490r); or
-
Has a Federally backed mortgage or multifamily mortgage loan
CARES Act Tenant-Based Rental Assistance
In terms of help with paying your rent, the CARES Act provides the Department of Housing and Urban Development with an additional $17.4 billion in funding including monies for rent assistance, housing vouchers, public housing, and housing for the elderly. For help contact HUD Rental Assistance.
