For the fastest response and to determine your eligibility, schedule an appointment below and upload the necessary documents prior to your visit.

GRACE makes every effort to provide the requested assistance when possible. Care Managers will tailor a plan that may include this assistance and/or other GRACE services and resources.
Mentorship Care Managers walk alongside clients to establish and achieve goals such as the development of budgeting and financial skills, assessing debt and credit history, securing or maintaining a career, and more. Care management appointments are scheduled weekly or more to track progress and provide any necessary support.
Participants can be assisted through other GRACE programs including the Pantry, Clothing Room, Community Clinic and/or the GRACE resale stores. Additional needs such as transportation, tuition aid and school supplies, daycare, and other expenses can be partially funded by GRACE or through collaborations with other service agencies and local faith communities.
“I was in a homeless situation…Was it hard? Yes, it was very hard. But I was looking for a space to stay…and when I got into GRACE they taught me how I could do better. They found a place for me to stay…I walked into this house and it was like a home—everything was set up.
It took a long time for me to start looking for help. [But] when I got into GRACE, the first things they told me were, ‘We’ve gotta teach you how to budget. You’re going to be taught how to plan. We’re going to help you with your money.’
So now at this time I do have a savings account. I’m not living paycheck-to-paycheck anymore. You still have a chance, if you want it. You’ve gotta want it.”
