If you are struggling to pay your rent, you are not alone. According to the National Multifamily Housing Council, 31% of American renters did not pay rent for the month of April. This is just one example of how the coronavirus pandemic has affected our country. If you turn on any news station right now you will be overwhelmed with statistics, graphs, and diagrams of the effects of the coronovirus. However, it becomes very real, and very personal, when you are the one missing paychecks and struggling to make ends meet.

“Homelessness is basically invisible in our community. How do we get the message out that it really does exist even though we don’t see people sleeping on park benches?” – Ruth

We’ll go into detail about each of these groups and explore how we can make a difference together.
