FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Helping People Through Unexpected Challenges

Unexpected financial challenges can disrupt anyone's stability. We provide targeted financial assistance to help individuals navigate these difficult times, empowering them to regain control and move forward with confidence.

Our Financial Assistance Focus

We believe everyone deserves the security of a stable home. That's why we're committed to providing vital financial assistance to eligible families and individuals facing critical needs, with a focus on preventing homelessness.

Rent & Mortgage Stability: We offer support with rent or mortgage payments, empowering individuals to maintain their housing during challenging times and avoid the devastating impact of eviction or foreclosure. According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition, "Housing is the most significant cost for most low-income families," and even a small financial setback can lead to housing instability. 

Essential Utility Support: We provide assistance with essential utilities, such as electricity, water, and heating, ensuring continued access to these fundamental necessities. Studies have shown that utility shutoffs can lead to unsanitary living conditions and significant health risks, further destabilizing vulnerable households. 

We are dedicated to building a stronger, more resilient community by providing the resources necessary to maintain housing stability and well-being. By offering this crucial support, we are helping individuals and families navigate financial hardships and build a foundation for a brighter future.
