The Emergency Family Assistance Grant application window which closed yesterday at 8 pm – was wayyy too short to help all our affected residents. Our Accounting Firm assisted as many fellow Escambians… but the 3-business day application timeframe limited our ability to help all of our eligible clients. Pleassse pass a 2nd round of applications.

What about those impacted by huge hurricane that came through? They lost wages when their place of employment closed for a week, lost all the food in their fridge and can’t afford to replace it or put gas in their car.
Please help me with housing I’ll been homeless for 10months now it’s getting cold I’m diabetic sores all on my body my sign isn’t good I never been in such away I all ways work
$45,000 for a household? That’s pretty ridiculous. So a single person making $40,000 a year qualifies but a family with two adults making $50,000 and supporting children doesn’t? Really? Who thought this was a good idea?
