SHPO EMERGENCY CORONAVIRUS
Resource Center
Providing Help and Hope
In a Time of Need
As we are aware the Coronavirus has come to the USA and those that have been affected by the virus are at record numbers. Many of our day to day living resources have ceased as part of the statewide shutdown. This has left many people homeless, without food or shelter. We at SHPO decided to come up with an innovative way to help. Our Coronavirus page is designed to be a strength, help and navigational resource to connect people to the services they need. Below you will find how to receive money, loans, grants and other relief.
What Is Coronavirus
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness that can spread from person to person. The virus that causes COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus that was first identified during an investigation into an outbreak in Wuhan, China.

Our Food Pantry Link and How To Donate. Also how to donate other items needed.
How Much Will I get?
If you made less than $75,000 in 2019, you will be eligible for the full payment of $1,200. Couples who filed jointly and made less than $150,000 will get $2,400. An individual who filed as "head of household" and earned $112,500 or less gets $1,200.
How Do I Receive The Check?
IIf you've gotten a tax refund in the last two years by direct deposit, that's where the money will be sent. If not, the IRS can mail a check to your "last known address," and it has 15 days to notify you of the method and amount of the payment. They'll send a phone number and appropriate point of contact so you can tell them if you didn't receive it.
If you’ve moved recently, it may be a good idea to notify the IRS as soon as possible. The IRS also suggests that if you haven't yet filed a tax return for 2018 or 2019, do it as soon as you can, so that the government has your up-to-date information on file.
What If I haven't Filed Taxes In a Few Years or Owe Back Taxes. Will I Still Receive a Check?
Yes, you will still receive a check. Make sure your current address is on file with the IRS.
