This holiday season, Not Born Yesterday is proud to partner with the San Francisco Chronicle Season of Sharing Fund to bring much needed attention to rental assistance programs in our community. 

Rental assistance programs like Season of Sharing Fund are there for people when a month or two of rent can make the difference between staying in their home or becoming unhoused. Ultimately, rental assistance programs help prevent homelessness.

In this Not Born Yesterday bonus episode: we are eager to share story of Marlus Stewart, a 72-year old retired nonprofit leader in Sonoma who ended up homeless after she got sick. Her story is part of Sharing Stories, Season of Sharing Fund’s six-episode podcast 

If you or someone you know has experienced an unforeseen crisis and could benefit from one-time financial assistance from the Season of Sharing Fund, go to seasonofsharing.org/get-help/ to learn about how to apply. 

If you want to hear more stories from people like Marlus, who’ve benefited from this safety net, subscribe to Sharing Stories wherever you listen to podcasts. Or go to seasonofsharing.org/podcast/
