Rental assistance to people affected by COVID-1



With the spread of the COVID19 virus, many people have been laid off from work, lost income, and most are currently behind on rent, utilities, and other bills. Many nonprofit organizations have been working to find proper fundings to help people who qualify for aid. The biggest problem with these types of programs has been the funding. Since nonprofit organizations are required to write grants and the process of getting funds takes time has put a strain on funding accessibility. Volunteering to set up virtual fundraising can be the best way into helping these non-profit organizations get faster funding to be able to help those who are in dire need. With that being said, letting people know that there is an organization that is working to help others in need is a crucial part of getting the word out to everyone. One of the most successful ways has been to have people with social media platforms get a post or two out to let people share it on their platforms. The more people that share the posts the more people that can see it and get the help they need or even direct others they know might need it more. We all have a role in helping one another during times of uncertainty, and volunteering in a safe way is the best action that can be taken towards a better solution to many problems.
