Zhaya lost his job in December and recently was approved for rent relief, for $3,300 owed for the first three months of this year and the same amount to cover April, May and June rent. Now he can work at paying down $40,000 in student loans, build up savings and consider buying a car. Derek Davis/Staff Photographer
