WGC's Emergency Response Network: $1,000 - Can You Help?

WGC Emergency Response Network Request: $1,000 - Can You Help?
​
The Women’s Giving Circle of Howard County invites you to join with us to raise at least $1,000 to support our partners at Columbia Housing Center through the WGC's Emergency Response Network (ERN).

CHC has a client who is a 27 year old single mom of two young kids who works full-time, who needs assistance to avoid being evicted. This young woman is an HCC student who qualifies for a rent subsidy from the Columbia Housing Center, but will lose her housing if this balance isn't paid. She owes back rent and fees in the amount of $2,373.47 due to a temporary job loss over the summer. She started a new job recently but cannot get caught up on the back rent that must be paid to stop the scheduled eviction. She has secured $500 from the Salvation Army and says she can contribute some money from her next paycheck toward the balance.

Support of at least $1,000 from the WGC would make up the difference she needs to pay.

Can you help?

Any amount is valued and appreciated!

Thank you,
