• You can only apply for specific assistance once every six months.
• We do not help with deposits
• We cannot help with rent balances that exceed $200.
• You can only get one KIND of specific assistance every six months (No rent and utilities simultaneously, for example)
• If your application is not 100% filled out you cannot be considered for assistance. 
• Processing your application takes several days so do not wait until your bill is way overdue before applying.
• We send payment directly to a landlord, utility company, never to the person applying.
• We help on a first-come-first-serve basis and not every application is accepted.
