- How do I qualify for assistance?
In order to receive assistance, you have to be experiencing a financial hardship. Even if you’re employed, you have to be able to show with documentation that you are struggling financially and need assistance with a particular issue. Unfortunately, if you are unable to provide any documentation to support your claim we will be unable to assist you.
- What is the SIS Program?
The SIS (Supplemental Income Support) Program is a 90-day program where the client receives financial assistance once a month for 3 months. This program is for those who require a longer period of financial support, who may have multiple financial needs, and/or who struggle with other issues like anxiety and depression due to their financial hardship. The primary goal of the program is self-sufficiency. The SIS Program offers resources like job readiness, money management and credit building, self-care and wellness, and personal and professional development.
