Apply for Emergency Assistance
Please submit only one application. Submitting multiple applications through different channels will delay the processing of your application.
Due to high volumes, the current processing of applications and wait times are longer than usual. County staff are working to decrease backlogs and may call after business hours and on weekends to conduct phone interviews.
