Recession/Economic Assistance

We know that many individuals and families are struggling to make it through the current recession. Many have lost or are at risk of losing their homes or have lost their jobs or seen their pay checks dramatically cut. Loss of employment usually means losing health insurance and needing affordable health services.

Below is a list of agencies with programs that may be able to help you manage financial hardships or get you the assistance you need, whether it's health care, food assistance or job training.

We hope these programs can provide you with the help you need to get back on track and rebuild a secure future.
