The Assistance Program provides a network of services for those in need in our community, including seniors, adults, children and veterans. We provide guidance, advocacy and a helping hand, always with dignity and respect for personal privacy. Emergency funding is provided for rental assistance, utilities, gasoline, medical needs, job loss, accidents and other catastrophes. Help for seniors and the homebound, and school supplies for children are also provided.
The high cost of living in the Hamptons can make rent, food and medical bills daunting throughout the year. The need for emergency assistance in our community is especially acute during the winter months when seasonal workers are laid off and utility bills spike. Once a client has met with the director and the need is verified, financial assistance can often be offered immediately. The Assistance Program can be a crucial safety net for families facing unexpected crisis and a lifeline for those with nowhere else to turn. We also serve as a resource by providing counseling and referrals to other sources of help. All assistance is given on a case-by-case basis and requires an interview with the HOH Director. All arrangements are made with respect for personal privacy and dignity. HOH will hear anyone’s case for assistance. If the request is within reason and the person has exhausted all other options, we are here to find or provide help.
