We want to remind you about the assistance available through the Department of Social Services for households facing eviction and homelessness. If your household income is below 30% of the annual median income for Cecil County and you have received a court-ordered eviction notice, we're here to help. Don't wait until it's too late. Call 410-996-0100 to inquire about eviction assistance and prevent literal homelessness. In April alone, there were 21 evictions in Cecil County, but only 4 requests for eviction assistance. Please share this information with those who may need it.
Additionally, some of you may not be aware that Deep Roots can be a resource for children who are "at risk" of homelessness even if their family is not residing at Deep Roots. In particular, local agencies have been receiving calls for assistance from families who are living in motel rooms with children. Deep Roots hosts many activities for children and can arrange for transportation in some cases as well. If you are aware of a family who might be interested in this resource for their child/ren, please contact Jessica Stone at Deep Roots at 410-275-2194.
Let's ensure that no family in Cecil County faces eviction or homelessness without knowing the available resources. Together, we can make a difference! Please feel free to forward this information as appropriate.
