Santa Clara emergency assistance.
San Jose and Santa Clara California families can receive help with paying bills, housing, and food from the Emergency Assistance Network (EAN). Qualified low income individuals who are facing a crisis or unexpected hardship may be able to qualify for assistance for a number of emergency situations.
The program provides a wide variety of resources and services to help pay rent, prevent homelessness, offer mortgage assistance, address utility disconnections, and otherwise provide social services. The intent of the resources is to act as a safety net to those who need it. So the support is a last resort, and applicants need to be out of all other options.
The Santa Clara County EAN program can provide financial assistance, free advice and counseling to help qualified low income families and individuals recover from an unexpected hardship or emergency situation. In addition to grants and cash for the crisis, the program can often provide financial education as well as case management to clients. So get both short term cash to pay an expense, and just as importantly access to longer term self-sufficiency type resources.
