# Key financial & business resources for your locality

Many people who come to your site will be looking for financial, employment, housing, loan, food, health insurance, or other ways to get help from your government or community. People will also be looking for the best ways to help their community.

We recommend having prominent ways to access these resources from your homepage so that people can easily find them.

* **Resources for individuals in your state/locality** ([example from NYC](https://www1.nyc.gov/site/coronavirus/resources/resources-for-new-yorkers.page))
* **Resources for Businesses/Non-Profits** ([example from NYC](https://www1.nyc.gov/site/coronavirus/businesses/businesses-and-nonprofits.page))
* **Ways to Help** ([example from NYC](https://www1.nyc.gov/site/coronavirus/ways-to-help/ways-to-help.page))

Clicking on each of these sections can direct users to a page containing links that pertain to those resources. [NYC’s Coronavirus Information Portal](https://www1.nyc.gov/site/coronavirus/index.page) does this very well. They feature the resources prominently on their coronavirus portal homepage, and clicking on each link provides users with a page that has useful links, sorted by category.
