Comprehensive Emergency Assistance Program

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 experienced an unexpected, uncontrollable circumstance like a medical bill in the past 120 days, or loss of employment within the past 12 months you may qualify for CEAP assistance.

Eligible households can receive up to $1,500 once per program year.

You will need:

• State Issued ID
• Social Security cards for all household members
