Cash-grant program for adults with low incomes experiencing a household emergency. Adults can receive assistance once every 12 months. The assistance received must resolve the crisis. Adults must use their own money first. The amount of assistance provided might not cover the entire emergency, but it can help. This generally means a loss of shelter or utilities. Emergency assistance is to be used for basic needs only and cannot be used to pay for legal fees or other charges related to late payments.
