The amount of assistance varies based on your specific need, our available funds, and the urgency of your situation. We evaluate each case individually to provide the most effective support possible. Priority is given to preventing homelessness and maintaining essential utilities and housing stability.

Financial assistance is typically provided as a one-time benefit per year. However, we understand that circumstances can be complex. If you've received assistance before and are facing a new emergency, please contact us to discuss your situation. We'll work with you to explore all available options and resources.

Processing time varies based on the urgency of your situation and current application volume. Emergency cases (such as imminent eviction or utility disconnection) are prioritized and can often be processed within a few days. Standard applications typically take 1-2 weeks for review. We'll keep you informed throughout the process.

Even if you don't qualify for our financial assistance program, we're here to help. Our resource navigation team can connect you with other programs and services that may be able to assist you. We have partnerships with numerous organizations across Texas that serve veterans.
