Homeless Prevention Emergency Food and Shelter

These services are provided to assist families who are facing a crisis situation with food, shelter, or utilities.

 

Homeless prevention services can assist families who are facing eviction or utility disconnection in preventing their family from becoming homeless. This program can also assist homeless families with an emergency motel stay and can assist them in securing either temporary or permanent housing.

The Emergency Food and Shelter program may be used for one month’s rent, utilities, or groceries for a short period of time. This assistance is intended for families who need temporary, one-time assistance to resolve an emergency situation.

In addition there may be other services or assistance available to families or individuals who are in need of crisis assistance. Family Development Specialists in each county are knowledgeable of what services may be available to assist a family. If a family has a need, but does not know where to seek assistance for that need, they should contact the Family Development Center in their county.
