Elevate Relocate Grant

Elevate wants to support more businesses by offering relocation incentives to qualified individuals. Offering a relocation incentive can help cover moving expenses such as: moving coordination and travel to handle logistics, fees, and temporary storage of personal items; rental or housing assistance that would cover the cost associated with breaking a lease or making a security deposit on the new place; real estate services or temporary housing. Grant funds can be used towards the relocation incentive of no more than two new employees. Employers can apply for reimbursement of up to $2,000 per new employee, not to exceed 50% of the new employee’s total incentive. The maximum grant amount per employer per year is $4,000.00. Grants are based on the availability of funds and are made on a first-come, first-served basis after the contents of the completed application are verified.
