Meet Mark, Project Access NOW's Reporting and Data Analyst. Each month, Mark will be sharing the most interesting piece of data he came across that month.
Project Access NOW provides rent assistance support to communities in need. By providing financial support for rent, rent assistance programs can prevent people from becoming homeless or being evicted from their homes. This helps to maintain housing stability and reduces the strain on homeless shelters and other social services.
Overall, rent assistance programs can have a significant positive impact on individuals, families, and communities.
