About
Financial assistance - after an assessment of needs and resources, critical funds may assist those who are under-resourced. There are three pools of funds: 1 - the community emergency fund provides financial assistance for critical situations to assist with life's basic needs or to keep clients from catastrophic losses. In 2019, Orion provided $85,000 in emergency funds to stabilize our neighbors in need. 2 - the plan program allocates funds to assist with provisional lodging to bridge those who are homeless to permanent housing. In 2019, 34 families were stably housed. 3 - restricted use fund are monies received for limited and specific purposes such as local veteran need or summer camp for child-care. Financial empowerment provides one on one budget coaching.
