Rent assistance is a one-time emergency service for those experiencing temporary financial hardship. Those that are experiencing long term or habitual financial hardship will still be considered (depending on circumstances) but are rarely approved. Those with preventable financial hardship that were a result of poor planning (car registration due, worn tires need replacing etc...) will not be approved.

Assists with one month’s service charges (current amount). The one month assistance must keep services on for a minimum of 30 days. Assistance with propane or firewood will receive a one month supply. Clients are responsible for delivery.
