Round 2 ESG-CV2 (1/6/2020-ongoing)
Round 2 started on January 6th. So far, we have given out $140,225 in rental assistance to 86 households. We have accepted an additional 41 households into the program who are pending payments. Due to receiving more calls than our team has the capacity for handling, our phones have been shut off since 1/8. From 1/8-2/16/2021, we have had 1326 missed calls from individuals who need assistance. The need is far exceeding currect resources.
