Criteria:
The following criteria must be met by applicants in order to receive assistance from FIT:

The liaison works closely with the client to ensure that the program requirements are met and eliminate the possibility of duplicate services being provided by other organizations or agencies.

  2. FIT’s liaison or Executive Committee must be convinced that FIT’s financial assistance at the time will be a stabilizing factor for the applicants and that the applicants, once the immediate crisis is taken care of, can afford to remain where they are living. This assurance is established by the completion of a budget and the development of a controlled expense plan.

  3. School-age children must be enrolled and attending school.

  4. A photo id must be presented at the time of the interview.

  5. Clients must sign the application, declaring that all the above requirements are met and everything they have stated in the application is true.
