Cash-grant program for families with low incomes experiencing household emergencies. Families can receive assistance once every 12 months. The assistance received must resolve the crisis. Families must use their own money first. The amount of assistance provided might not cover the entire emergency, but it can help.

Total shelter costs must not exceed 75% of the family's net income. The move must be due to the denial of Emergency Assistance to pay existing shelter costs and the county has determined that moving will resolve the emergency.

The county will determine if assistance is available for families facing a loss of shelter and for families without shelter. Assistance may also include damage deposits.

Assistance may be available for expenses such as municipal water, sewer, natural gas, electricity, fuel oil, firewood, and trash removal.

The family must own, occupy, and maintain the home. The family's household income must be enough to pay housing costs over the next 12 months and can verify that their lender has denied refinancing.
