PHOENIX â The true impact of COVID-19 on communities is just coming to light, even as the number of hospitalizations and cases starts to see a decline. That s according to staff working at one Valley non-profit that is working around the clock to prevent people from losing their homes, and face eviction.
Jacki Taylor who is the CEO of Save the Family Foundation said all the studies she has seen predict a tsunami of homelessness to come, as those who have lost jobs face the real possibility of losing the roofs over their head. The agency, which was founded 30 years ago to help re-house the homeless, especially single mothers getting out of domestic violence situations, has now put a big focus on eviction prevention in the East Valley.
