Business is booming and crowds are beginning to gather as more and more people are receiving the coronavirus vaccine, but those Fort Bend County organizations and advocates for the most vulnerable residents are still waiting for the storm to arrive.
An onslaught of disasters in recent years, including the COVID-19 pandemic, Februaryâs winter storm and tropical weather has left many county residents still living on the edge, according to several local organizations dedicated to housing and rental assistance.
And soon, the federal eviction moratorium will elapse â a move that could lead to a sizeable uptick in people without homes or apartments in Fort Bend County, said Vera Johnson, the executive director of Fort Bend Family Promise, a nonprofit organization meant to provide temporary housing and assistance for families in need.

WILTON The Planning Board on Thursday, May 6, granted a business use permit to Vera Johnson for her property at 87 High St. to be converted into an artistic workshop, Belle Art Center, for metalworking and pottery. Johnson also operates Vera’s Iron & Vine at 127 Broadway St. in Farmington where products from over 30 Maine-based craftspeople are sold.
After renovations which will take about a year, Johnson plans to offer classes and events at the center in Wilton which is currently designated in the industrial zone. Code Enforcement Officer Charlie Lavin said Johnson may have to apply for a zoning change or come before the board to ask permission for specific events and educational classes.

ARLINGTON, Texas -
The National Bowling Association is built on a foundation of education, empowerment and celebrating success and togetherness, all in an environment that makes every event and meeting feel like a family reunion.
Sadly, though, when the tournaments and get togethers resume for TNBA members later in 2021, after a long run of uncertainty and cancellations, the return to some sort of normalcy will be bittersweet, as there will be a few familiar faces missing from the long-awaited hugs and handshakes.
Like so many families across the globe, the TNBA membership could not avoid the unwelcomed reach of the COVID-19 pandemic, which affected thousands of members at every level of the organization and claimed the lives of more than a dozen dedicated bowlers who have served TNBA at the national level or were very active in the annual national convention.
