Benevolence: Essential Needs Grant
The Essential Needs Grant is a one-time grant to assist individuals in addressing immediate shelter-based needs. Assistance is limited to one-time rent, mortgage, or utility payments and does not cover deposits of any kind.
Applications and all required documents must be submitted by 11:59 PM (CT) on Sundays to enter the review process for that week.
Requests received after the deadline or requests with incomplete documentation will be held for the following week's processing.
Before you submit your application, we encourage you to review our Benevolence Policy and ensure you have followed all provided directives. Providing accurate information is essential, as any discrepancies may lead to an automatic denial of your application.
** Applications will not be considered prior to completion of the required financial course listed in our Benevolence Policy. **
