The 513Relief Bus Brings Resources to Those Who Need Them

Hamilton County will continue online-only 513Relief services on 513Relief.org due to the surge in COVID-19 cases. Until further notice, in-person 513Relief services will not be available at the OhioMeansJobs Center.  Please check 513Relief.org regularly for updates. 

Hamilton County Board of County Commissioners recognizes the need to deliver social services, including no-cost COVID-19 vaccinations, to Hamilton County residents. During the winter months, the Hamilton County Equity and Resources Mobile Tech Bus (aka the “513Relief Bus”) will operate from the OhioMeansJobs (OMJ) Center, 1916 Central Parkway 45214. This move allows the County’s COVID Relief Programs to be accessible Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. in one location, on a bus line with convenient parking. Community operations will resume in spring.

Please note: Applicants to the Hamilton County Rent, Mortgage, Property Tax and Utility Relief Programs can apply for the program online on 513Relief.org. If you struggle with technology, the United Way’s 211 will assist you.  Call 211 for a Care Navigator.

Calendar subject to change. Please check frequently.
