Description

Assists eligible individuals in a crisis by issuing one-time, non-recurring payments to meet emergency situations. The unit may assist with security agreements to landlords, extermination fees, moving or storage expenses, and utility arrears payments to avoid shut-offs or to restore service (currently unavailable; all utility arrears are currently being handled by HEAP until further notice; see separate listing for Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) - ECDSS).

Financial assistance is made in the form of a loan for utility shut-off, evictions, moving/storage expenses, property repair, rental assistance, mortgage assistance, and foreclosure. A security agreement is provided to landlords instead of a security deposit.

Emergency and immediate needs assisted include:
- Shelter Arrears

- Security Agreements
