Emergency General Assistance - EGA - Benton County Human Services
Cash-grant program for adults with low incomes experiencing a household emergency. Adults can receive assistance once every 18 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. Emergency General Assistance provides short-term, one-time assistance for persons 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. NOTE: Funding is currently not available for this program until July.
