Emergencies happen. If something is preventing you from paying rent or your mortgage, the Comprehensive Emergency Assistance Program (CEAP) can help. CEAP is designed to support families through tough times and keep them from losing their homes through eviction, foreclosures, or other circumstances. If you have proof of a paid unexpected, uncontrollable expense in the past 120 days, or able to verify loss of employment within the past 4 months you may qualify for CEAP assistance.

 To Qualify:

Your family’s monthly income must be at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Income Guideline and you must have an unexpected, uncontrollable circumstance.

***Uncontrollable circumstances are provable circumstances that caused an uncontrollable reduction in income and/or an unexpected out-of-pocket expense like job loss, funeral expenses, unexpected repair or replacement of a large appliance, or a medical expense***
