PLEASE SEE APPLYING FOR SERVICES

FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

All financial assistance is done through vouchers.

Please understand that our resources are limited and the needs of this community are so great that we may only be able to assist financially once, maybe twice, per household each year. Use this service wisely.

Additional items needed for financial assistance:

FOR UTILITY BILLS

           Disconnect notice. During November through March all heating            bills will be referred to Community Action’s LIHEAP Program.

 

FOR UTILITY DEPOSITS

           Rent receipt or lease showing rent has been paid at new address.            Letter from the utility company showing amount needed to begin            service including any old bills which must be paid.

 

FOR PRESCRIPTIONS

           Statement from pharmacy stating the cost of the prescription(s)

           and which pharmacy it is from. This should be one of the local            pharmacies as Wal-Mart and Walgreens do not accept vouchers.

 

FOR RENT (This is the most difficult service for us to assist with. We            would much rather assist with a utility bill thereby allowing the            client to use their own funds towards rent.)

 

           Letter from landlord stating amount paid and balance due. Letter            should be signed, dated, and include the mailing address and            phone number of the landlord. It should also state the landlord’s            willingness to work with client on any balance still due.

 

On very rare occasions we may provide the following services:

 

           Gasoline to go to an out of town doctor visit. Must have an                                appointment card.

 

           Perishable foods voucher during an extreme crisis or for                                     specialized items.

 

           Limited transient assistance which may include gasoline to                                continue traveling or one night of lodging.
