Federal unemployment benefits ended last week and we’re preparing for even more people to look for help through our services.
Steve Brooder, our Chief Operating Officer spoke with Fox 4 News last week saying,
“We would serve 60 to 100 people a week. We’re now, as I said, seeing 600 to 800 households 3 times a week, so the numbers have just increased dramatically.”
“We see a dramatic need for transitional housing that’s increasing. People that may have been in our shelters are now looking for some affordable housing. That also will just be increasing as a problem in the community if some of these programs stop.”
