CAMBRIDGE MA~ has established a relief fund w/trustees to administer grant giving, with dedicated municipal employees to help people fill out applications
I love this because the funds become public, I believe, as opposed to being shared with large charities for their overhead.
Basically, any household making the area median income or less is eligible for up to $4000 in direct payments for rent, (some) mortgage, utilities, and/or household needs due to Covid-related income loss...
“We are extremely grateful to the City Manager, the Mayor and their staff, who have guided and supported all of this work,” said Ellen Semonoff, Assistant City Manager for Human Services. “Over 50 City staff will be engaged in trainings so that they can support applicants and participate in the application review and approval process. The work has been led by a dedicated group of staff who have worked tirelessly to ensure that the funds will be distributed in a fair and equitable manner.”
