With strict protective measures and protocols in place since March, our staff has placed dozens of homeless persons in motel shelters, prevented numerous evictions and foreclosures, avoided utility shut-offs, ramped up our various food distribution programs, engaged in homeless outreach services, delivered groceries to isolated seniors, and provided burial assistance for many families that lost a loved one during this time.
