There is no doubt that the global pandemic has had an immense impact on our local communities, leaving many of us unemployed or under-employed and struggling to make ends meet. For some, it has left us in a delicate balance wondering if or when we might find ourselves the victim of an eviction notice or if we are going to be able to keep our lights on.
