Emergency rental funds program expands
Chula Vista is urging renters and landlords to apply for its Emergency Rental Assistance Program while funds are still available. Changes to the program recently enacted by the state have expanded benefits to new applicants and previously approved applications. Eligible households that have been financially affected by the COVID-19 pandemic can receive more payment assistance to help with rent and utilities. Apply at chulavistaerap.com. Financial assistance is available for past-due rent from April 1, 2020, to March 31, 2021. Tenants can also apply for past-due utilities and for current and future rent assistance. Tenants are limited to a total of 12 months of financial assistance.

Another indoor garden report: Over a year ago, a friend gave me an amaryllis plant in a red wax ball that didn’t require watering. Two shoots came up and bloomed from that plant. After the shoots died down another appeared, about an inch high, and has been that size in that ball throughout 2020. A few weeks ago, I peeled off the red coating and put the ball in water. I now have two new green shoots. I will let you know what happens.
Rob Kushner of Amherst sent me an email saying he has been cleaning files and found one pertaining to me. He was a member of the Select Board and announced at a meeting that he wouldn’t be up for reelection because he had to be in Philadelphia dealing with family matters. Before the announcement, he shared cookies with the board that I had made and given him because he was a runner-up in the post card contest. What a great trip down memory lane!
