If you meet these requirements you will complete the client application, and submit all of the necessary documents (paychecks, client's ID and verification for all dependents, the most recent bill you are seeking assistance with and/or your lease agreement) for review by the case manager.

If you do not have the necessary documents your application will be denied. Please be advised if you are approved,  $250.00 is the maximum amount per household per lifetime.
