Programs For Families in Financial Trouble

Financial Hardship

When a family member is incarcerated, it quickly becomes a financial hardship for the family left behind. Not only is there lost income, but the family also now has other costs associated with their loved one’s incarceration, such as travel expenses related to visitation, communication expenses, child care, and legal fees.

This article is about the public, private and nonprofit organizations, community, and religious-based programs committed to financially helping low-income families of the incarcerated.

Assistance With Food-Groceries and Health Care

Several types of public programs assist low-income families going through financial trouble. These programs include assisting with food and grocery needs, health care, and counseling services.

Discount Online Pharmacy

There are also deep discounts on prescription drugs offered by companies that require no premiums or co-pays.

Legal Assistance 

Legal Aid Clinics – Pro Bono

There are pro bono legal services and legal aid centers in every state so long as you financially qualify for assistance.

Public Housing and Rent Assistance

Section 8 Housing – Voucher Program

Low-income housing, formerly Section 8 public housing, provides long-term solutions to expand affordable housing.

Public housing is intended for low-income families and individuals. Public housing offers single-family homes to multi-level apartment buildings.

There are also public services for families and individuals facing homelessness.

Energy & Utility Assistance

LIHEAP

The Home Energy Assistance Program  supports eligible low-income families with heating and cooling energy costs, bill payment assistance, energy crisis assistance, and energy-related repairs.

Child Care

Financial Assistance

The child care program provides financial assistance to low-income families who require child care due to work, work-related training, or attending school. To qualify for this program, they require that you be a parent or primary caregiver responsible for 13-year-old children and younger. They must also characterize your financial situation as low-income or very low-income. Obtain more information on this program.

Grants For Children 

The TANF Program

Child-Only grants were designed to serve the specific needs and income of children. A child’s income might include child support payments or a public benefit like Supplemental Security Income. These grants provide child caregivers with monthly cash benefits to help them care for the child. Caregivers do not have to be a parent. They can be grandparents, foster parents, aunts, and uncles.

Child Grants

Qualifying Requirements for

To receive assistance from public programs depend on the number of children living in the household and how much money the child or children receive from other sources, such as income from child support. The caregiver’s income and resources are not considered when determining whether the child or children can receive program benefits.

Support Programs Listed By State 

Community-Based Organizations Helping Families Left Behind

Almost all states have community-based organizations that help families of prisoners with housing expenses, substance abuse, health care, and even counseling.

Some public organizations may be dedicated primarily to the families of the incarcerated. Others are charities, nonprofit organizations, schools, and social service agencies that offer financial assistance no matter who you are or your circumstances.
