Financial Help Provided: emergency assistance




Full Description:

EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE
This year we will help 16,000 people with food for over 270,000 meals, provided 14,000 free clothing items, 1,800 emergency bus passes, 500 voice mail boxes and hundreds of blankets, diapers and personal hygiene items. We help hundreds more people over the phone with referrals, ideas and helping them with a gameplan to address their situation.
We also act as an information source for other organizations to help them assist their own clients and our community resource materials are used by agencies throughout the county. We can provide funds for medications, and bus passes for temporary transportation related to employment or medical needs. We are the designated partner to provide clothing and other items for Shasta County Women's Refuge and Empire Recovery clients.

HOMELESS SERVICES
POP serves 1,200 people who are homeless each year with food, clothing, personal hygiene items, voice mail, referrals and emergency casework. When grant funds are available, we can provide motel shelter for those who cannot stay in other shelters due to medical reasons.

We are a member of the City of Redding and Shasta County Homeless Continuum of Care Council working to improve homeless services and to educate agencies and the public.

In the 1990's, POP sponsored and supervised the Armory Winter Homeless Shelter for five years -- the only shelter allowing people to have shelter for the entire winter.

Tips For Prompt And Professional Assistance
1. Make an appointment - Always attempt to make an appointment. Oftentimes this will save you hours waiting in lines. When on the phone make sure you ask for the documentation needed in order to receive assistance.

2. Do not be late for your appointment - This tip should speak for itself.

3. Dress appropriately - If you want to be treated with respect, dress as appropriately as possible. We are not saying wear a suit. Just make sure you and your clothes are clean and non offensive. We have found that clients who dress in this manner have a better chance of receiving aid.

4. Bring all pre determined documentation - Bring all of the documents you were advised to bring from your appointment phone call. Without them, you will not receive aid.
