To give you a sense of what HHCC experiences daily, here are 5 families and a description of what they currently need help with. This is a long post so please bear with me. Just know that these families have already exhausted any and all other avenues available to them for help.
Family 1 (5 People): Needs $1300.00 rent (Utilities included) by August 1st 2020 or they will be served an eviction notice. Theyre a new family that arrived to YYC pre covid and had jobs but were laid off and the business hey were working at shut down completely and went bankrupt
Family 2 (8 People): In need of rent (Utilities included) in the amount of $1700.00. They have four special needs children who are severely autistic and with the program cuts and government firing of teachers and aides they have been...
... told they now have to be reevaluated for possible weekend respite. Father laid off and is on CERB but that is not enough to cover all the bills and expenses. They desperately need help. Especially after how government programs and assistance have been cancelled.
Family 3 (5 People): In need of help with Enmax. They fell behind in Utility payments due to job loss and Enmax put them on a repayment schedule without their consent....
They tried to change the payment schedule but were told that wasn’t possible because that was what they committed to (When they didn’t)
They have to pay $1683.18 by August 4th, 2020 or they will face cut off and then eviction from their landlord due to not having utilities in their name. (It’s a part of their lease agreement as utilities are not included in their monthly rent)
Family 4 (4 People) In need of food hamper, diapers & wipes and formula. Single mom who is trying to get her Child tax situation sorted out but she can’t find her ex anywhere. She has 7 to 10 days of food left.
Family 5 (3 People): In need of food hamper and partial rent help. They escaped a domestic situation and are in need of a food hamper and rental help in the amount of: $860.00
