In addition, United Way awarded Helping Hands Coalition $1,000 to provide sack lunches for homeless and low-income individu- als in Florence and Siuslaw Outreach Services $2,500 for rental and utilities assis- tance for unhoused individ- uals. “Although Governor Brown has put a 90-day hold on residential eviction and allowed a six-month period to repay, this fund will help those who have been fur- lough stay current on their rent and utilities,” Teter said. “For many service workers, their rent is 80 to 90 per- cent of their take-home pay. They may not have the in- come to pay additional dol- lars toward their currently monthly rent. This fund will help ensure we do not have a spike in homelessness six months down the road.” United Way of Lane County realizes the initial grants awarded will not be sufficient to stem the rising tide of need in this area, but “We typically fund com- munity programs in a 2- or 3-year cycle,” Dunnells said. “Given this situation, we have responded quick- ly with every-other-week application requests, a simple agency review and decision-making process. We’re in the third round of application reviews this week, for distribution next week, and have committed to four rounds of funding. And all contributions to the COVID19 fund will be dis- tributed without a fee for processing. “We are grateful to live in a community that manifests caring and compassion by responding to community needs with financial sup- port, in-kind donations and volunteerism.” For more information about United Way of Lane County, visit www.united waylane.org. 2020 Rhododendron Court Introducing P rincess Abigael Hummel Sponsored by: FLORENCE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST 4445 Hwy 101 (South of Fred Meyer) – 997-3951 Worship on Saturday 10:30 A.M.
