Emergency Food & Shelter

The United States Congress created the Emergency Food and Shelter Program (formerly called FEMA) in 1983 to help meet the needs of hungry and homeless people throughout the United States and its territories by allocating federal funds for the provision of food and shelter.

Residents in our 9-county service area (Cass, Crawford, Fremont, Harrison, Mills, Monona, Montgomery, Page, and Shelby) who are in an emergency situation because of loss of a job or health and are unable to pay for their basic needs of utilities or housing may apply at their local outreach center for assistance for the following:

  • One month's rent or mortgage payment, or
  • One month's utility bill.
