Hi Team,

I want you to know that Nicholas House has an emergency procedure in place to help families with children with Eviction Prevention and Families with Children with Homelessness. Their usual uptake is through the Gateway Center, however they are asking people to contact them Directly at the Boulevard Location. They will work with the reception person to fill out a form and within 72 hours a case worker will be in touch with them. Nicholas house is experiencing a flood of calls right now and they have brought on extra case workers (with some of the funds we allocated to them) to help take care of applicants.

I can give you one example that will no breach confidentiality:

A woman with children was living in her car in a parking lot in Mechanicsville. They were notified and now she is in a hotel room with a kitchen while they work out how to get her started in their program. This is all thanks to the $$$ we awarded them.

If you know of a family with children that is facing eviction please have them call Nicholas house.

(404) 622-0793

I thought we all could use a bit of good news so I had to share.

Much Love to you all!

Columbus,

Here is the latest information on how families facing eviction can contact Nicholas House for help.

We offer eviction prevention assistance for homeless families with children through a program called Home Again (typically up to two months of rent and utilities arrears though that may be subject to change due to the crisis).

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, we have expanded the program—current requirements are:

• Must be at least 18 years old with primary custody of at least one minor child (no single individuals or families without children, though we serve families with children of any composition)
• Must reside in the City of Atlanta, Fulton County or Stadium Neighborhoods (we may be able to serve residents in more areas depending on what funds come in—we anticipate some flexibility here)
• Must be at risk of eviction (no employment/income required through the COVID-19 crisis)

If a family is at risk for eviction and thinks they may be eligible, they should call our Boulevard location at 404-622-0793 and let staff know that they need eviction prevention.  Staff will take down their information, share it with the appropriate case manager, and the case manager will reach back out via phone or email within 72 business hours.

I’ll keep you in the loop if we have any changes to this process or the eligibility requirements as the new case manager comes on board to help assist families with eviction prevention, hopefully within the next week or so.  We expect to have a jump in capacity as far as how many families we can help once they are on boarded and have a streamlined “how to get help” sheet as well, which I’ll share once it’s made.

Please don’t hesitate to call or have folks call me with any questions! I’ll be sure to share updated eligibility requirements as they develop. J

Thank you and stay well!

MARTA MAKES SERVICE CHANGES, OPERATIONAL ADJUSTMENTS TO ADDRESS RIDERSHIP DECLINE, PROTECT HEALTH OF EMPLOYEES DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC

        

ATLANTA – The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) is making operational adjustments beginning Thursday, March 26, to protect the health and wellness of employees as they continue providing essential transit service during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, MARTA is making service plan changes to bus and rail operations beginning Monday, March 30, to address the dramatic ridership and revenue decline seen in the wake of this national health crisis.

“MARTA stands by our role as a provider of essential infrastructure. Our frontline employees are everyday heroes who drive buses, run trains, protect our customers, and clean vehicles and stations. I applaud the fortitude and resilience they show every day by coming to work despite the anxiety and uncertainty that has become the new normal,” said MARTA General Manager and CEO Jeffrey Parker. “While additional operational changes may be forthcoming, we are implementing the following changes to current operations to better protect our staff.”

Beginning tomorrow, bus customers will enter and exit using the rear doors only, except for customers who require the accessibility ramp. Also, because our Breeze farebox is located at the front door, MARTA is suspending fare collection on buses. For customers transferring to and from the rail system, fares will be paid at the rail stations. MARTA is closing public restrooms at low-utilization rail stations beginning tomorrow. Public restrooms will remain open at College Park, Doraville, Five Points, H.E. Holmes, Indian Creek, Lindbergh, and North Springs rail stations.

Beginning Monday, March 30, MARTA will reduce bus service by approximately 30 percent. All bus routes will continue to operate, but with fewer buses on each route. The exception is on routes with the heaviest ridership; 15, 39, 5, 121, 196, 73, 110, 78, 83, and 89, which will have buses added to help with social distancing. This adjusted plan most closely mirrors MARTA’s inclement weather plan and prioritizes service along major arterial routes and to medical facilities. The plan also allows for weekday level bus service to essential businesses.

Rail service will operate on a weekend schedule beginning Monday, March 30, except for start time which will remain the regular weekday start time to complement bus service. Also, all Red and Gold Line trains will go to the airport, and Green Line trains will turn back at King Memorial. Due to extremely low ridership, MARTA is closing Mercedes-Benz/State Farm Arena/GWCC rail station. Trains will not stop at this rail station beginning Monday. MARTA will perform deep cleaning, repair work, painting, and other small projects at the rail station during this temporary closure. Additionally, the streetcar will operate on a Sunday schedule beginning Monday, March 30.

Updated bus and rail service information will be available on www.itsmarta.com, MARTA’s On The Go app, @MARTASERVICE on Twitter, @MARTAtransit on Facebook, digital boards throughout the system, and communicated through announcements on buses, trains, and at rail stations. Call our Customer Care Center at 404-848-5000 if you have any concerns.

NPU V community groups,

We have revised our community event sponsorship fund (up to $400) to simplify it and allow its use for providing emergency supplies and other crisis related activities that are not typical events in the community.  Please see attached.

Also, I came across the funding opportunity down below which is due on 4/4.  And Georgia Center for Nonprofits is keeping a great list: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BZ3CdQGmOILNWTFTRTL62-NbHl_YjNquSocq_VIGfXQ/edit.

LISC and Verizon are partnering to provide grants of up to $10,000 to businesses and non-profits facing immediate financial pressure because of COVID-19—especially entrepreneurs of color, women-owned businesses and other enterprises in historically underserved communities who don’t have access to flexible, affordable capital. The grant can be used for paying rent and utilities, meeting payroll, paying outstanding debt to vendors, and other immediate operational costs.

The first round of grant applications is due on Saturday, April 4^th. I understand this is very short notice. However, the application is short, collecting background information on the organization and its needs. There will be another round.

Please share this application with the groups you support and others in your network.

Thank you.
