The Advocacy Office Provides:

 

• Back Rent Assistance: Are you at risk of losing your housing because you weren’t able to pay your rent last month? Have you been served with an eviction notice or notice to quit?  To prevent homelessness, community members may qualify for rental assistance to pay back rent. Financial assistance is granted depending on funding availability and residency requirements.

 

• First Month's Rent Assistance: Do you need help paying first month’s rent so that you can move into a new home? If you are literally homeless and have located a new place, but need help getting in the door, we may be able to help! Financial assistance is granted depending on funding availability and residency requirements.

 

• Emergency Shelter: Are you a Union County resident with nowhere to sleep tonight? We may be able to help by providing temporary or short-term emergency shelter at a local motel, or we may be able to refer you to other services. Financial assistance is granted depending on funding availability and residency requirements.

 

• Other Services: If you need assistance with utilities, furniture, groceries, or if you need referrals for other services, we may be able to help. Financial assistance is granted depending on funding availability, and residency requirements.
