The Chaffee County Community Foundation, in partnership with the Chaffee County Department of Human Services, have announced an assistance program aimed at filling existing gaps in both eligibility and funding for Chaffee County residents.
The program is designed to offer support for individuals and family needs. If you have a total household income of $75,000 or less, are full-time Chaffee residents, and have experienced a drastic change in life circumstances, you are encouraged to call DHS or email chaffeebenefits@state.co.us.
Those who are approved for assistance may have up to $2,000 paid on their behalf or things like rent, utilities, medical bills or prescriptions, car repair or emergency shelter.
No assistance will be paid in cash directly to applicants but instead be paid to verified vendors on the applicant’s behalf.
For detailed program guidelines or to begin an application, go to chaffeecommunity.org.
