How We Serve
Rent Help & Mortgage Assistance
Every day, millions of people across the country are forced into making a choice between things like keeping a roof over their heads and putting food on their family's tables. We believe no one should have to make a decision like that, so we provide rental ssistance and mortgage relief to eligible households facing financial difficulties.
For instance, The Salvation Army of North & Central Illinois connects residents with local housing resources for help with rent and mortgage assistance.
Additionally, Relief Benefits is a national free, comprehensive tool that helps find relief - through the housing choice voucher program or other assistance applications - for those that are normally able to make ends meet but need help when unexpected situations arise.
Utility Bill Assistance
We have always worked to provide critical utility assistance to ensure that no one goes without heat in the coldest winters, air conditioning in the brutal summers, or fresh water to drink and bathe in.
In addition to a popular bill payment program, Pacific Power partners with Oregon Energy Fund, a nonprofit agency, to offer energy assistance to Oregon residents providing temporary utility assistance for eligible families and individuals when heating or electric service has been or will be shut off, helping them maintain housing stability.
Prescription Drug Assistance
As health care prices continue to rise, many large pharmaceutical companies are providing access to medication. You may qualify for free medicines if you do not have health insurance, do not have enough health insurance to cover your medicines, or meet certain criteria.
