EMERGENCY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Emergency Assistance

We provide Pierce County residents with emergency financial assistance for rent, utilities, and/or food. We directly assist the homeless and those on the verge of homelessness, those with utilities shut-off notices, or those who suffer from hunger.

If you currently have a 3-day notice for eviction, an eviction notice, a utilities shut off notice, or are in an emergency circumstance that necessitates financial assistance, we ask that you fill out an application and set an appointment with our Community Labor Liaison.
