Amid cold weekend, the UISD Federal and State programs department announced that the families and children it oversees have been prepared with portable heaters, jackets and additional resources.
According to Rebecca Morales, the department director, UISD has purchased the heaters and jackets that have already been distributed throughout the time between November and December in preparation for colder months.
She said there are still some heaters available in the office for families that have not received one yet.
In addition to helping children and families during the cold, Morales also highlighted and stressed the importance of a new state program, Texas Rent Relief. Applications will start being accepted starting on Monday at 8 a.m. and both landlords and tenants can apply for emergency funds. Additional information can be found at texasrentrelief.com or at the toll-free number (833) 989-
