The following programs and organizations have recently been updated with additional funding, resources, and/or are accepting new applications:
Reopened on Wednesday, June 22, 2022 at 9:00 a.m. to new applicants and anyone who previously applied but did not receive assistance. Anyone who previously applied but has not been contacted by a TLAC agent must reapply for assistance.
For those who have received assistance in the past and are still in need, reapply again because there could be an excess of funds that may not get used.
