Emergency Assistance Programs
|
| Social Services are
available for a variety of issues. Our Social Workers are able
to talk with you and provide information and referrals to other agencies
if we can't provide the service directly. If you are currently receiving
either TANF, SSI or GA you may be eligible for our Emergency Assistance
Program that can assist you with some related housing costs in an
effort to avoid homelessness. |
 |
We can assist with temporary emergency shelter,
food, utility assistance and in some cases clothing and household furnishings for homeless
persons who are eligible for TANF, GA and/or SSI under certain
circumstances.
|
Temporary emergency shelter, as well as assistance with rent, security
deposits or utilities, can also be provided for certain homeless persons
who are not recipients of the above programs. The type and amount of
assistance given depends on the availability of funds and the ability to
provide a more long-term solution to the problems of homelessness.In
all circumstances, a social worker is available to function as an advocate
for the individual or family in working with landlords, shelter operators
and utility companies in order to obtain services that are needed.
