While I have your attention, the FAMLI program is currently seeking a Director of Digital Services: https://t.co/1awBsnE5lA. 🚨More roles will be posted soon, so stay tuned! 🚨

I'm so humbled by and thankful for the opportunity to continue doing what I love: finding solutions that meaningfully improve the lives of others--especially the most disenfranchised among us--by creating space for their expertise and experiences to be applied.

I can think of no more impactful work than ensuring that the over 2.5 million people working in Maryland and their employers have a modern and dignified experience when interacting with the FAMLI program.

As Strategic Initiatives Lead, I'll help tackle the many challenges and opportunities of building a new social safety net program from scratch.

16. View our February survey insights, previous monthly insights, in-depth reports, and more at https://t.co/Wivk8XafwV.

15. In February, 56.8% of Providers users reported having less than $25 on hand. While high, this is the lowest level we’ve seen since April 2022.

14. Borrowing across all categories–borrowing from friends of family, owing back rent or mortgage, owing on utilities and other bills, and credit card debt– also decreased from January to February.

13. One area where @joinProviders users are doing better is borrowing and debt. For the first time in the past year, the percentage of users who borrowed money or used credit in the last month fell below 50%.

12. "My credit cards are maxed out, there’s hardly any work now with reduced days and hours, and I’m running out of options. My rent is two months overdue now with late fees adding up. And I have eviction notices on my door threatening me. All of it is overwhelming.”

11. Eviction rates are also up. 9.24% of users were evicted or foreclosed in the last month, a 9% increase from January.

10. Unfortunately, Providers users are also struggling to stay in their homes. For the second consecutive month, shelter stays spiked to record levels. The percentage of users who reported spending at least one night of the previous month in a shelter broke 6% for the first time.
