Opportunities' Emergency Assistance Program helps families who need
short-term assistance (up to 30 days) to keep their utilities on, or to
avoid eviction from their home due to inability to pay rent or mortgage. This is a one-time service per year for eligible families residing in Lewis
County. Assistance is offered when families have exhausted all other forms
of assistance available to them. Utility assistance may include electricity, propane gas (heating only), fuel oil, or wood.

In 2007, 77 families
received emergency assistance through the program. |
