Help Center Financial Assistance
As we work with individuals or families, financial needs may be identified. Catholic Charities may help by providing financial assistance with electric, gas, or water bills, rent, or other needs as identified and/or provide referrals for assistance available in the community. Assistance is provided on a case-by-case basis with the goal of helping to ensure stability and prevent homelessness.
Catholic Charities has a limited amount of funds to distribute each month. Not all applicants who apply and qualify for financial assistance will receive help. Completed applications will be randomly chosen until funds are no longer available.
