Those facing the prospect of homelessness in Door County due to the pandemic can get some much-needed help. The Door County Community Foundation and the United Way of Door County have partnered with Lakeshore CAP to offer rental assistance to those leasing units in the area and have seen their savings accounts dwindle to almost nothing over the last few months. Door County Community Foundation President and CEO Bret Bicoy says many of the people in need of rent relief are in the current predicament through no fault of their own.

The Rental Assistance Program through Lakeshore CAP and the Door County Emergency Response Fund is not a government program but rather funded through the donations of private individuals.
