DeKalb County District 5 Commissioner Mereda Davis Johnson has appropriated $1,000,000 to aid families who have been impacted by the COVID - 19 pandemic. Allocations have been made to community-based organizations in District 5 to provide financial assistance to families who have been economically impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The allocations will also cover a public outreach campaign to educate the public on the coronavirus and encourage social distancing and the wearing of masks.
The community-based organizations will be able to provide food, rental, mortgage, and utility assistance to individuals who have lost wages or employment, or who have been financially impacted by the pandemic with the funding.
“People are worrying about what they will eat, where they will lay their heads, and how they will make it day to day,” Commissioner Davis Johnson said.
