School closures, of course, are just one part of the larger overall effects of the current coronavirus pandemic to our community.  In order to guide families that may need some additional assistance as a result of COVID-19’s impacts, YCST has compiled a useful list of resources.  

Resources

• Housing: If you have seen a reduction in pay due to COVID-19 and are struggling to make your rent, mortgage, credit card, or loan payments, contact your lender right away. Explain your situation and ask about hardship programs that may be available. Regulatory agencies have encouraged financial institutions to work with customers impacted by the coronavirus.
• Internet – reach out to an internet provider to explore discounts and low income resources. Many providers are offering waivers or lower costs. If you are already connected with an internet provider, and will struggle to pay for your internet bill, contact them and explain your difficulty paying during COVID-19 and ask what they can offer.
