Adapting your VBS program, new stories and more

COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE RESOURCES

The economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic have thrust many of our neighbors into the sometimes-confusing world of U.S. public assistance programs. ELCA World Hunger’s newest set of one-page guides will help potential applicants in all 50 states and Washington, D.C., get started in applying for benefits they and their families may need:

Unemployment insurance
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)
Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
Rental and housing resources from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
Child care assistance (for most states)
