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 read on 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.
