The Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP) provides assistance to eligibility residents experiencing a one-time crisis situation which interrupts their ability to pay utility bills, rent/mortgage or secure necessary food. The customer must be able to document the crisis and show ability to maintain expenses after the receipt of the emergency assistance.

Available at all Community Resource Centers.
