Catastrophic hardship grants primarily focus on events such as a medical illness, an injury related to a motor vehicle accident, or repairs due to a housing disaster.

Emergency Grants

Emergency grants are available for swift assistance following a primary residence disaster, death of a qualified family member or assistance with relocation to victims of domestic violence.

Emergency Disaster Grants

Emergency disaster grants are available for immediate, critical needs following a large-scale natural disaster.
