Services include rent assistance, security deposits/first month rent, move-in costs for those transitioning from homelessness, eviction assistance, utility assistance, including water, for those facing shut-off, have no service, or to pay an arrearage in order to establish new service. Other urgent needs are determined on a case-by-case basis.
