Housing and Critical Family Needs assistance is provided in the form of grants that are paid directly to the supplier of services, such as a landlord or medical equipment provider. If you or someone you know needs temporary assistance and might qualify for a grant, please click here for a list of coordinating agencies and their phone numbers.
The Chronicle Season of Sharing Fund does not distribute funds directly to applicants, and we will never ask applicants for their bank or credit card numbers. If you suspect email fraud, please report it at http://www.us-cert.gov/nav/report_phishing.html.
In addition to Housing and Critical Family Needs assistance, the Chronicle Season of Sharing Fund provides support to Bay Area food banks to purchase food. If you or someone you know is in need of food, please contact the food bank in the county in which you reside.
