Cora Yao was born to a large, close, loving family in Beaumont, Texas, 15 miles from the Louisiana border. âMy 3 siblings and I had a blast! Our yard backed onto our grandmotherâs yard. Her father, my great grandfather, a carpenter, was always around fixing things, and sometimes âPapaâ would sneak us treats. We were a close family, and my memories were happy ones.
âMy great grandfather was a lay minister, and we loved going to Sunday School, studying, and hearing ancient stories from the First Baptist Church. Our family was the center of our universe and this family support and love gave us great comfort and confidence.I still feel it today.

RICHMOND â Virginiaâs pot for rent relief has grown by more than half a billion dollars, Gov. Ralph Northam announced Tuesday.
A $524 million infusion of federal funding will bolster the stateâs effort to aid tenants who have fallen behind on rent or utility payments during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thousands of households around the state owe back rent with a federal moratorium on evictions for nonpayment scheduled to expire at the end of next month.
âThere continues to be an overwhelming need for additional relief to help those struggling to make ends meet,â Northam stated in a release. âThis new federal funding will provide an important lifeline to individuals and families, and bolster our ongoing work to address housing affordability in the Commonwealth.â
