When DaJuan Davis learned that his application for rent relief was denied, exposing him and his son to another potential eviction, he felt “crushed.”
I felt so dejected. It took a lot of energy from me, said Davis, 45, in a January interview. The sometime commercial driver and convenience store worker, now employed by McDonald’s, sat on his living room couch, while his 13-year-old son attended virtual school in an adjacent bedroom.
He said he’s rented from Monroeville-based Arbors Management for 11 years. He’d weathered eviction filings, which followed a change of employment and gap in pay, in 2019.
His best hope of avoiding another eviction filing, following his July 8 loss of a job, had seemed to be Pennsylvania’s CARES Rent Relief Program. On July 10, he and the property manager filled out forms seeking six months of state help paying the $610-a-month rent for his Penn Hills apartment.

Somerville, just like most of the country and the world, is experiencing a second surge of COVID-19 infections. Though there are now two vaccines approved for emergency use, and local health workers at Cambridge Health Alliance have begun being vaccinated, people are still suffering and dying from this virus in the community.
On Dec. 14, Somerville announced the city would be rolling back to a modified version of phase two step 2, which closed gyms, indoor recreational or athletic facilities and classes (except for youth under 18), and museums on Dec. 17. Limited indoor dining and use of office space continues, while theaters, performance spaces, and gaming spaces remain closed.
