At this point, we have depleted the funds available for rent and utility assistance through the Home Relief Program. Clients are welcome to still complete an application and turn it in. However, it will be put on the waitlist and will only be processed if funding is available. We cannot guarantee assistance at this time and all clients should do their best to continue to pay their rent and/or utilities until they hear from us about their application.
