Your residents may be facing food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic. A number of businesses have closed meaning your residents now have less income. Some of them are having to make hard choices about how to feed their families and keep a roof over their heads. Knowing how to help residents with food insecurity is now more important than ever.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development addressed these concerns in the May 1, 2020, update to the Multifamily Coronavirus Q & A. We’ve included a list of resources after this video.
