Needy Fund helps a Hyannis veteran and his wife avoid eviction
A Hyannis veteran called the Cape Cod Times Needy Fund when he and his wife needed assistance paying their rent.
After being injured, he had to stop working. The man intends to continue working when he has recovered from his injury but because his wife cannot work due to medical conditions, he needed financial assistance.
The Needy Fund provided assistance with the couple's rental payment, which meant they would not be evicted.
More about the Needy Fund
Many human service agencies offer assistance to those in need, but the Cape Cod Times Needy Fund has been helping with a host of immediate, short-term emergencies such as food, rent, medical costs and other basic expenses since 1936. In 2022, the Needy Fund received more than 7,500 requests for assistance as of November and provided direct financial assistance to more than 4,000 clients.
No cash is given to Needy Fund recipients. Instead, the nonprofit pays vendors through a voucher program. The case described above was provided by the Needy Fund on the condition of anonymity.
