Today we went to Faith in Action in the Mission. We learned about the massive rent debt in San Francisco caused by the loss of jobs during COVID-19. Many people have been out of a job for a while and have gained a lot of debt. Faith in Action worked to help people with rent debt. They are holding an event tomorrow regarding the city of SF's program to help people who don't qualify for rental debt aid from the state. We made calls to people associated with Faith in Action to ask them to come to the event with SF Supervisors.
The work was monotonous as many calls would go to voicemail or the people on the other end would hang up before I could say anything. That did made it very satisfying when someone would answer the phone and hear me out. It was a very interesting experience.
