Financial aid from churches
This is much more limited. When churches in the Raleigh region do offer funds for paying rent or say electric or water bills, the funds are both (1) limited and (2) for emergencies only. There will also be stricter income criteria for financial help based on income as well as stability among other factors.
Wake County churches do not provide emergency financial help for paying utility bills, car repairs or rent in a vacuum. Instead they will combine it with free food, medical care, blankets for the homeless, clothes and what not. In addition, case management type services will also be given.
