Several different programs run by DSS offer financial assistance for families in financial crisis. The Crisis Intervention Program provides assistance for adults with children (up to age 18, or 19 if he/she is enrolled full-time in high School) on a first come, first serve basis. This money can only be used to help pay rent, heating costs, electric bills, and other one-time necessary expenses. The assistance must alleviate the emergency. The Domestic Violence Assistance program provides assistance for victims of domestic violence. Families must be at or below 200% of poverty to qualify. Funds may help pay for rent, shelter, and counseling. Families already receiving WFFA are not eligible. The Low Income Energy Assistance Program provides for a one-time payment to help eligible families pay their heating bills. Applications are taken for two weeks in November each year. The payment is usually received in February each year.
