See Solutions To Many Of Your Pandemic-Related Issues

Then keep reading, as these resources could be what you need to fix those issues so you can get back on your feet.

Last year when the coronavirus was introduced, did you ever imagine that we would still be wearing masks, socially distancing, and be kept from doing many of the things we love?
Probably not, but that’s our reality. And depending on where you look, it appears as if a life filled with COVID-19 restrictions will be our reality, at least into the near future.

With COVID-19 still in the mix, trying to recover from its negative financial impact remains complicated. Finding a job can be more challenging than ever, and you still have to factor in safety issues.

What’s your best move then? It’s not taking out a constant stream of personal loans or using credit cards that will put you deeper into debt. And it’s not asking family and friends for help, as they’ve all been impacted as well. Instead, you should use the following resources that can offer assistance with fixing many of your pandemic-related issues. Remember to share them with your loved ones as well:

Information on Getting Vaccines and Staying Safe

Safety is the number one priority, because we won’t be around much longer without our health. As such, bookmark these two websites:

1. Your state’s health department website – It can tell you where to get a COVID-19 vaccine in your area to offer an extra layer of protection against the virus.
2. The CDC’s website – Use it to learn more about vaccines, coronavirus safety, and where we are in the fight to defeat the pandemic.

Help With Housing and Utilities

To stay safe during the COVID-19 pandemic, you need a roof over your head. You also need to keep the lights on, which is why you should do the following:

1. Use this site to see the status of evictions in your state. Doing so will show you what protections renters have during the pandemic, which is crucial when dealing with your landlord.
2. Contact your nearest Public Housing Agency. Tell them your housing situation so they can fill you in on short and long-term assistance options.
3. Contact your utility company and ask how you can make your bill more manageable to avoid shutoffs. See if you’re eligible for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) too. It can reduce your monthly out-of-pocket utility costs.

Unemployment Assistance

The job loss caused by COVID-19 is staggering. If someone in your household lost their job due to the coronavirus, applying for Unemployment Insurance through your state can help replace some of that income.

Assistance With Bills, Food, Healthcare, Etc.

If you’re looking for a one-stop-shop for coronavirus assistance, dialing 211 on your phone may be just what the doctor ordered.

A quick call and chat with a local operator can fix issues you’re having with finding food, getting affordable healthcare, paying your bills, and more.
