This has led to many people facing housing and food insecurity. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of adults still not caught up on rent has remained above 10 million people since the end of March 2021.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbpp.org\/research\/housing\/federal-rental-assistance-fact-sheets#US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities<\/a>\u00a0(CBPP) states that 5.2 million households in the U.S. are using federal rental assistance. According to the organization, the median rent for an apartment has also increased by 13 percent since 2001.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many businesses have also been hurting as a result of COVID-19. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/fact-tank\/2021\/04\/14\/u-s-labor-market-inches-back-from-the-covid-19-shock-but-recovery-is-far-from-complete\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pew Research Center<\/a>, employment among low-wage workers fell by 11.7 percent from 2020-2021. Along with staffing shortages, companies have also been having a hard time continuing to keep their businesses open. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While many nonprofits and individuals are doing so much good work to help, grants are another big way to get these individuals and businesses the help they need. For this reason, GrantNews is sharing five <meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/>economically-focused COVID-19 grants today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Five COVID-19 Grants to Help with Economic Recovery <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Firstly, there are grants available to <a href=\"https:\/\/grantwatch.com\/grant\/197976\/grants-to-usa-first-responders-to-assist-with-expenses.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">U.S. first responders<\/a> to assist with expenses.
