Families must use their own money first. The amount of assistance provided might not cover the entire emergency, but it can help. Emergency assistance is a short-term, one-time assistance for households in a financial crisis because of fire, flood, storm, illness, accident, theft, utility shut-off, eviction, foreclosure, moving expense, necessary home repairs, or need for furniture or appliance replacement or repair.
