Emergency Assistance Services

An unexpected crisis can result in a lack of money for food, utilities, or rent. Assistance is available as funds allow. Help is also available for those experiencing homelessness. Our Emergency Assistance Services sites and programs collaborate with local organizations, public and private agencies, and religious institutions to ensure the basic needs of the most vulnerable in our communities are met. We work to provide food, shelter, and clothing to individuals in need, and currently offer support in Ashland, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Summit and Wayne counties.
