Strong working relationships among local, state & federal agencies, along with nonprofit organizations, allow City staff to connect qualified residents with the most appropriate resources for assistance. This web page contains important information about free services available for those who are facing hardships, including housing and shelter needs, food insecurity, unemployment, behavioral and mental health issues, and utility bill payments.
