COVID Relief Helps Residents Bridge the Gap
The COVID-19 economic crisis has threatened people from all walks of life with homelessness as livelihoods have suddenly been cut off. Since the crisis began CAC has been receiving 4 times as many requests for assistance than before COVID. CAC is working to provide rent assistance to help as many of our neighbors as possible stay in their homes. In 2020 CAC provided more than $2 million in rent assistance!
Assistance Available During Covid Pandemic
