Hi Jessica and others.
Since you both have a long list of needs, try our main list of Rochester NY area assistance programs. On there you will find resources for housing, food, and more with links to contact information too.

My address is in the city of Rochester New York.
I am reaching out for some kind of cash assistance or assistance with bills and rent.
If someone can please mail me some applications for assistance, I would greatly appreciate it ... I am having a hard time affording my bills.
I have a job -- I work part time anywhere from 20-25 hours a week and make 17.00 an hour. I don't drive or have transportation and live in a small town with limited places to work within walking distance.
I have tried applying for cash assistance through DS but was denied and told I to make over the cash amount to be accepted.
Are there any other cash assistance programs that can help?
I currently receive snap food benefits monthly and I am also supposed to receive heap credit -- but it's delayed because of the government shut down. But the heap credit is only for rightly $ 400.00... unfortunately my national grid electric bill is $300 dollars this much because I have been having a hard time keeping up and affording it.
Is there any other program I could be accepted for? If so, could someone mail me some applications?
