SNAP

SNAP provides crucial food assistance to eligible individuals and families. By using an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, similar to a debit card, recipients can purchase food at participating stores.

Medicaid / ACA

Medicaid provides comprehensive health insurance to eligible individuals and families, offering relief from the high costs of medical care.

LIHEAP

Struggling with utility bills? LIHEAP provides financial assistance to individuals and households with utilities, including electric bills, light bills, and power bills.

Childcare

Are you struggling with childcare bills? Childcare assistance programs may offer financial relief by subsidizing the cost of childcare for eligible families. This allows parents to continue working or pursuing education while ensuring their children are cared for in a safe environment.

WIC

WIC supports the health of pregnant women, new mothers, and young children with nutrition education, healthcare referrals, and assistance for food. If you're a mother or expecting, see how WIC can help you and your child thrive.

Earned Income Tax Credit

The EITC is designed to help working individuals and families receive financial relief. By reducing the amount of tax owed and potentially increasing your refund, EITC helps around 25 million people each year keep more of their hard-earned money.

Child Tax Credit

The CTC offers assistance to families by providing direct financial help to support the cost of raising children. This tax credit is available to qualifying families and can dramatically reduce the financial burden of parenting.

Unemployment

For those who have lost their job through no fault of their own, unemployment benefits offer short-term financial assistance to ease the burden. These benefits support your financial needs while you seek new employment.

Down Payment Assistance

Down payment assistance programs are a financial program that provides homebuyers with grants or loans to help cover the upfront down payment cost when purchasing a house.
