A Message From The School Counselor
This webpage is meant to be a "one stop shop" for community resources for families. I regularly update it with new flyers and information about community resources as I get them. However, if you are looking for a resource that isn't here, please give me a call or send me an email (my contact information is listed above) and let me see how I can help or if I have other resource information.
Keep checking back as this page is a work in progress and new things are being added as I get them.

Eviction Moratorium
There is a new statewide eviction moratorium (HB 4401) that will last until June 30, 2021. This means that, with limited exceptions, landlords cannot evict renters for nonpayment or without cause until July of 2021.
The protections for renters under the new statewide moratorium are NOT automatic!
To be protected from eviction for nonpayment after December 31, 2020, renters must fill out and sign a sworn declaration of financial hardship and give it to their landlords in order to be protected from eviction.
