The Difference We Make
Budgeting and Temporary Rental Assistance
The Challenge…
Bill is a single father who was working as a fish packer, when he found himself out of work for five weeks. He had been making just $13 per hour at the time, so losing a few weeks of work was enough to cause him to fall significantly behind on his monthly bills.
The Solution…
Action Inc. staff worked with him to provide budgeting assistance and to help him access rental assistance funds from the local municipality for two months so he could get back on his feet.
