Housing fund helps lower medical costs, provides stable housing for Akron-area residents
When Akron resident DeAngelo Guest was diagnosed with a kidney disease in June 2023, he didn’t know that getting healthy would mean losing his apartment. That’s when United Way of Summit & Medina’s Housing Stability Fund stepped in. Since the housing assistance program launched in May 2024, it has provided financial assistance to 87 local households, including Guest’s. The pilot program was created and paid for by CareSource, with the goal of preventing its members from becoming homeless due to health circumstances.
