As people reach out to us for help we meet with them face to face, hear their stories and help find solutions for their difficulties.

Often, this means helping with rent, utilities or food. Sometimes they have had health issues, family issues or lost a job putting them in a bind and they just need a boost to get caught up.

In the first 5 months of 2024 those represent 83% of financial assistance provided and 17% for other miscellaneous aid.

Sometimes it means helping them connect with other resources that can provide financial aid or other assistance, encouragement or suggestions on developing a plan or sometimes even reconnecting with family members.

In some cases the aid prevents homelessness and makes the difference for the client being housed vs. being homeless living in a car or on the street.
