LW Cares Fund initiates first award payments

The first 10 residents who received $200/month from the Leisure World Cares Fund found renewed hope in their ability to manage rising housing costs. The funds were donated over the last several months by over 75 fellow Leisure World residents.

Recipients submitted applications and were confidentially interviewed in a brief two-week process resulting in awards that began in the new year and will last for 12 months. That amount of aid turns out to be meaningful to the fund’s typical client, who is on a fixed income and whose HOA fees have risen well past 50% of their income.

Additional applicants are welcome. More awards will be added on a monthly basis as long as residents apply and donations continue to be available. Help filling out the application is available.

Application forms can be dropped off and donations can be picked up for convenience. To apply or donate, visit www. lwcaresfund.org, call 562-262--8280 or email lwcares@lwcaresfund. org. —Nick Massetti The Leisure World Cares Fund is not affiliated with the Golden Rain Foundation or LWSB in any way.
