Our Community

ACLAMO has been supporting families financially throughout the COVID-19 crisis in emergency housing and utility assistance through our ERUC Housing Program. Our housing counselor, Dulce Juarez (pictured right), recently provided assistance to a family in need of our services.

Joe is married to his wife, and they have 2 children together aged 2 and 4. Also living in their household was Joe’s grandmother. As a result of COVID-19, his wife was laid off, and his hours were reduced significantly. In February 2021, Joe’s grandmother died due to COVID-19, and he had to cover all funeral related expenses. At that point, he couldn’t afford his rent and his household faced an eviction notice. ACLAMO’s housing team received his application for emergency rental and utility assistance, and he was assigned a housing counselor. ACLAMO approved his case, paying 9 months in rental and utility assistance for a total amount of $8,775, settling his eviction notice.

Fortunately, he and his wife were able to return to work, finding better paying jobs in the home health care industry. When he received the news that his case was approved he emailed his housing counselor and said, “You really made my day. Thank you so much. 10 years ago today I lost my mom, and life has been really rough without my mom and the recent loss of my grandmother. I really appreciate this, you have no idea.”

ACLAMO is always committed to serving our clients and leading with love. We are grateful for the opportunity to make an impact in the lives of those we serve.
