Basic Needs Assistance Program is designed to meet the emergency needs of low-income persons age 18-59 years with a disability and adults over 60 with or without a disability. Funds are available for material aid and energy assistance: for emergency needs such as rent payment assistance, assistive devices, dental expenses, utility bills, prescription drug expenses, eye glasses, home cleaning, extermination, furnace or water heater repair, plumbing and electrical work. Other unmet needs are considered on a case-to-case basis. Grants are made in cases when no other funding source is available. The limit for a request is $400 every 2 years. If a service or funds are available elsewhere the grant will not be approved until all resources have been explored. Grants can only be issued when funding is available.
