The Household Assistance Program in Oak Ridge, TN, is dedicated to preventing homelessness and fostering self-sufficiency among families in crisis. We offer essential services including short-term financial assistance for utilities, rent, and mortgage payments, as well as access to our Crisis Cupboard and weatherization items. Our compassionate life coaching helps clients stabilize their situations while our dedicated social workers work closely with each individual to create tailored contingency plans, exploring educational opportunities, job training, budgeting, and beyond. We carefully screen applicants to ensure assistance is provided to those actively seeking employment, enrolled in school, elderly, or disabled. By connecting clients to GED programs, job training, mental health support, and other resources, we empower families to achieve lasting independence and a brighter future.
