- Rent, utilities or other critical living expenses to help make ends meet, assist with a necessary transition or move out of an unhealthy living situation
- Funding for basic essentials for losses due to natural disaster or other emergency
- Assistance with medical bills from a sudden, unanticipated or unique situation
