Emergency Assistance Programs

UCM's Emergency Assistance program helps people in crisis meet basic needs and learn about resources for long-term self-sufficiency. The working poor and those on fixed incomes have hardships that require concrete, immediate help to prevent outcomes like homelessness, utility cut-off, malnutrition, or worsening of illnesses such as diabetes. The program serves over 10,00 people per year. We often work with Fairfax County, complementing their resources when they cannot fully address a crisis alone.  For additional information see our Program Participant Statistical Report for FY'06 - FY'08.
