(KWQC) The Quad Cities COVID-19 Coalition focused on housing assistance in their press briefing today. Scott County announced 2 new COVID-19 cases for a county total of 218 while Rock Island County announced 20 new cases for a county total of 402.
ASSISTANCE FOR HOUSEHOLDS
Cecelia Bailey, executive director of the Quad Cities Open Network-HUB (QCON) said that her network would like to share how households in the Quad Cities can get to emergency funds and how human services agencies can tap into the resources for families they assist.
Since QCON is a network of more than 60 health and human services agencies, it is able to act as a central entity to coordinate efforts to help struggling Quad City residents.
What can the funds utilized for?
-The funds are flexible dollars used to address immediate needs for food, medical supplies, or housing/shelter that have been a challenge or at risk due to the pandemic. The dollars are direct assistance for citizens in crisis.
How can I access emergency funds?
-Funds can be accessed through QCON's member agencies. If you already have a connection to a health of human service agency, you are encouraged to reach out to them if you have a need. A full list of agencies that are there to help can be found here .
If you don't know where to start, Quad Citizens on the Illinois side can contact Project Now at 309-793-6391 while Iowa residents can contact Community Action of Eastern Iowa at 563-324-3236.
