We previously helped a client from Chesterfield who was looking for loans to cover her rent. That approach of using loans to pay rent is not advisable, except in the situation where income has been restored and the household earns too much to be approved for emergency rental assistance grants.
I am wondering if you are within the local service area of some of the organizations that help Richmond residents with rent emergencies. We had a Richmond client whom we referred to a couple of these organizations. Have you spoken to or applied for aid with any of these community partners yet?
