COVID-19 Recovery
Public Narrative recognizes the ongoing emergency relief you and your family may need to continue on your pathway towards financial recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. We are pleased to announce that we will be offering 30 families (households) the chance to secure a one-time $500 stipend to help reduce some of that financial strain; and continue putting the piece back together again.
