The past four weeks have been filled with news of COVID-19 and its impact on businesses small and large. To meet the needs of our clients we quickly moved our services and programs online. We knew our clients would need different services so we reached out to our clients via a survey. We learned that many NHSSF clients had lost jobs and income and were unsure if they could pay rent or mortgages. NHSSF responded by facilitating clients to request forbearances and offering our mortgage holders forbearance agreements.
Managing through hard financial times is not new to low wealth communities and even here in South Florida, we have learned to manage through natural disasters and its culminating effects on the job market, but it is unprecedented to do this while also fearing we may contract a deadly virus. It is wrenching to watch the world’s economy come to a standstill. Collectively, we will have to dig deep into personal reserves of resiliency to manage through this crisis. I believe we will. Like the communities we serve, NHSSF has proven to be strong, flexible, and resourceful in aligning our services to meet the needs during this difficult time. We responding nimbly and focused on continuing to provide tri-lingual homebuyer services and financial literacy programming.
