Housing Works Gets a SBA PPP Loan to Maintain Critical Services
|
|
 |
| Celina Alvarez, Executive Director of Housing Works CA, will apply part of the group's PPP loan to increased staff meeting to respond to intensifying pandemic-era needs, as well as for hazard pay for frontline workers. |
|
|
Housing Works has settled more than 450 formerly homeless people in permanent, supportive housing in Los Angeles—“whatever it takes, for as long as it takes” is the group’s motto, and the high-touch, one-on-one case management at the heart of their model is especially hard to navigate in the midst of COVID-19 and social distancing.
Alvarez describes applying for the first round of PPP as “a mess.” But, she adds, “I’m a firm believer in divine intervention.” The day Alvarez heard the first round of PPP had closed, after multiple unsuccessful attempts to get application support from banks, she received an email from Emma Kloppenburg, a LISC LA program officer, offering to help her apply for round two.
