    General Assistance can help with rent, utilities, and medical situations if application is approved. Approval is based on income, family size, and individual situation. Applicants need to have been employed for 90 consecutive days out of the last six months. Medical and other assistance need to be supported with documentation.

    We do not assist with deposits, food, phones, insurance, car licensing, or repairs.

    Contact the office to obtain an application and to set up an appointment.
