Credit Score Drop? How to Diagnose Why, and What to Do Next
This article talks about how to figure out why your credit score dropped and what step you can take to fix the problem. It goes into specifics on what issues people may come across and specifically how to work toward a solution. The need I found within this article is services that can do all of this for you. Someone could start a business having to do with dealing with the credit companies to fix their problems for them instead of the individual having to do all the leg work. People with poor credit or unknown reasons for a dropped credit score have this problem.
Inside a changing industry: Animal Rescues
This article talks about the issues of adopting and fostering in Gainesville during quarantine time. Shelters are having a hard time getting funding from outside sources because of the lack of activity, and while fostering rates are up, adoption rates are not. So there is clearly an unmet need for these animal shelters.
Homeless encampment broken up by Florida Department of Corrections
This article speaks on the lack of protection for homeless people. Recently in Gainesville over 50 homeless people were forced to vacate an area because it was about to be bulldozed, and there was nothing the homeless people could do about their temporary home there. Homeless people have an unmet need for shelter, that maybe this could be solved through a nonprofit organization.

Vanasia, thank you for bringing light to the homeless. I often think of all the impact COVID has on our small city of Gainesville. The poor and homeless are affected by the absolute hardest. Required to vacate your temporary "home" during a crisis puts these homeless people in danger as they cannot find any safe place. I hope an organization can come up with creative opportunities to support the homeless in our community.
ReplyDeleteVanasia,
ReplyDeleteI liked the articles you chose about student mothers as I feel like they are definitely not getting the attention they deserve in these times. My mom is an elementary school teacher and a good number of her student's mothers are sinlge moms, and she says that she is getting contacted by them all the time about assignments not being turned in or not being in the Zoom calls. It is so difficult for them right now, they have to go to work to get money for their children, but then they can't leave their home alone all day, even working from home they still have to pay attention to their child. And then adding school in there, the mom has to make sure they are doing their assignments, while having to do her job.. it is just crazy for them I can only imagine.
