WORKS WITH FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE FACING VARIOUS EMERGENCY SITUATIONS UNDER A PROGRAM THAT HAS SPECIFIC REQUIREMENT, GUIDELINES AND LIMITATIONS. THE ORGANIZATION HAS A LIMITED AMOUNT OF FUNDS EACH YEAR TO ASSIST CLIENTS IN MEDICATION, RENT, UTILITY AND TRANSPORTATION TO A REHABILITATION CENTER, AND THE AMOUNT OF EACH GRANT IS LIKEWISE LIMITED. IN GENERAL, THE ORGANIZATION DETERMINES WHETHER A CLIENT IS FACING A ONE-TIME FINANCIAL NEED AND WHETHER THE CLIENT HAS TAKEN STEPS TO SEE THAT FUTURE NEEDS WILL BE MET BEFORE A GRANT IS APPROVED. IF GOVERNMENTAL OR SPECIAL PROGRAM ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE TO A CLIENT, IT MUST BE PURSUED FIRST. THE APPLICANT MUST SHOW A ONE-TIME, EMERGENCY FINANCIAL NEED WHICH WAS NOT CAUSED BY THE CLIENT'S ACTIONS OR LACK OF EFFORT. AN APPLICATION FOR RENT OR MORTGAGE ASSISTANCE MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A PRINTED, FORMAL NONPAYMENT OR EVICTION NOTICE, COPIES OF COURT PAPERS, OR A SHERIFF'S EVICTION NOTICE AS WELL AS A WRITTEN STATEMENT FROM THE LANDLORD INDICATING WHAT PAYMENTS ARE OWED. THE CLIENT MUST SHOW THAT THE RENT IS NORMALLY AFFORDABLE EXCEPT FOR THE ONE-TIME FINANCIAL EMERGENCY. AN APPLICANT FOR UTILITY ASSISTANCE MUST PRESENT A SHUTOFF NOTICE FROM THEIR ELECTRIC, GAS, OIL OR FUEL COMPANY, OR OTHER WRITTEN INDICATION THAT AN EMERGENCY IS PENDING. USUALLY, THE HEAP PROGRAM AT DSS OR THE GOOD NEIGHBOR FUND MUST BE PURSUED BEFORE THE ORGANIZATION CAN APPROVE A UTILITY GRANT, UNLESS IT IS CLEAR THAT THE CLIENT IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THOSE PROGRAMS. THE CLIENT MUST NORMALLY RECEIVE ENOUGH INCOME TO COVER THEIR UTILITY EXPENSES IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR A UTILITY GRANT. MOST OF THE ORGANIZATION'S GRANTS ARE APPROVED TO ASSIST CLIENTS WHO CANNOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE THEIR PRESCRIPTIONS ON A ONE-TIME BASIS. MOST APPLICANTS HAVE ALREADY APPLIED, OR MAY BE REQUIRED TO APPLY, FOR MEDICAID, CHILD AND/OR FAMILY HEALTH PLUS AND ARE CAUGHT WITHIN THE WAITING PERIOD BEFORE THEIR CASE OPENS. GRANTS FOR ASSISTANCE WITH PRESCRIPTIONS ARE APPROVED ON AN EMERGENCY FINANICAL NEED. CLIENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSURING THAT THEIR FUTURE NEEDS ARE MET. TRANSPORTATION GRANTS ARE APPROVED FOR ONE-WAY TRANSPORTATION TO A REHABILITATION CENTER, WHEN A WRITTEN REFERRAL CONFIRMING THAT A BED HAS BEEN RESERVED AND THAT THE CLIENT HAS NO FUNDS AVAILABLE IS PROVIDED BY A SUBSTANCE ABUSE COUNSELOR OR CASEWORKER. THIS ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE ON A ONE-TIME BASIS ONLY.
