What qualifies me for financial assistance with rent, mortgage or utilities?

We understand that unexpected situations arise that make paying rent or utilities difficult. Our assistance is not based on your regular income but instead is based on the financial crisis within the last 60 days. Because of this, we ask that you provide verification of the loss of money you have experienced, making paying your rent, mortgage or utility difficult. What is this?

  • Loss of Income (examples)
    • Did you lose your job or have fewer hours? We will need your paystubs showing normal and lost pay; unemployment statement; termination letter
    • Did you lose your benefits? We will need your SNAP letter, Social Security letter or unemployment statement showing normal and lost benefits.
    • Were you living off of your savings? We will need to see bank statements showing your savings are exhausted.
    • Did you have to pay for medical expenses, funeral expenses, home repairs or car repairs? We
      will need paid invoices showing us that you paid this.

Please note these are examples only. More information may be requested to better determine
your lost money. Our staff will guide you through this process, letting you know what
else is needed to support a decision.

How can I request assistance?

TCP is open Monday – Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (Last check-in for financial assistance is
3:00 p.m.) You may walk in with ALL of your documents to have your request reviewed.
