“We are facing a serious challenge.”

How WayForward Helps
"When I'm talking with neighbors who are extremely rent burdened (paying more than 50% of their income toward rent), strategizing how to survive, I often hear, 'at least I can get food,' and 'If it wasn't for the pantry, I wouldn't eat.'"
- WayForward Case Manager
