The One Shot Deal Emergency Assistance program helps people who cannot meet an expense due to an unexpected situation or event.
This can include move in money (1st months rent, security, and broker’s fee if applicable) if you are homeless or facing eviction.
These funds can also be used if you have had your utilities disconnected or pending termination, fire disaster, domestic violence, or other circumstances that affect the health and safety of the individual or family.
Call or visit your local DSS office to apply.
