Providing assistance such as food, gas, and household needs as well as helping them avoid eviction, having utilities and cell phones disconnected needed to maintain or obtain employment through rental, utility, and cell phone assistance, or connecting them with other community resources. We have housed women temporarily to avoid them living in places not meant for habitation or were in an unsafe situation. We have assisted women with transportation to get items out of storage when moving out of the womens shelter, gas to fuel their car when need to get to work, etc. Each request is reviewed on a case by case basis. Once applications are submitted, they are reviewed by our team and if approved, bills are paid to a third party. Incomplete applications or applications are not considered.
