“While our economy has greatly improved from the depths of the Great Recession, too many Rhode Island families are still struggling to keep their homes. I was proud to work with my fellow members of the Rhode Island delegation to pass the bill creating the Hardest Hit Fund, which has helped over 3,300 Rhode Island families to date.
