United Way Bay Area warns that a federal funding pause will severely impact hunger and homelessness relief in the region. California was promised $18.3 million in federal aid, with $2.5 million designated for the Bay Area. Organizations like Food is Free Bay Area, facing soaring demand, illustrate the critical need for these funds. Escobar, from United Way, highlights the gap between requests for assistance and available funding, while Pierini underscores the dire situation that many families are now facing due to a reduction in vital support services.
"Usually, we get double the amount of requests than we have funding for. So we know the need is out there. We know the nonprofit sector needs these funds." - Laura Escobar
