Nasty service. Went there for rental assistance and the lady there had such a nasty attitude like I was bothering her. I didn’t have my meds on top of it I’m surprised I held my composure. Can’t believe this woman had the nerve to ask me what I did with my stimulus check, like what the President you elected didn’t give us any stimulus. Maybe if he did I wouldn’t have to bother you to help me not get evicted and become homeless. Good thing my brother was with me to help me stay calm. People need to realize that a lot of people are going thru it at this times right now and have some humanity or quit your job if you don’t like it State Employee. Anyway first time ever asked the government for help and not getting it cause I don’t smoke crack but thank God hopefully never have to see that woman’s face again.

Can I find my adoption history information here?

Rick Garcia | Sep 26, 2019
Marco Di Giovanni | Sep 26, 2019

I am unsure. But given the fact they are the department of human services, provided it was an open adoption they would have access to unarchived materials. If it it very old, you will have go through the State's archives and an O.P.R.A. form addressed to the appropriate department would aid in your pursuits.

If you are not working, and not receiving any cash assistance you can apply for GA (General Assistance) if your a single person with no kids. Or TANF (Temporary Assistance Needed Family).

Mia Reid | Sep 26, 2018
Keith Castellano | Sep 26, 2018

When you go be prepared to wait bring a book and take a Xanax or something it's just unfortunately the way the system works we are all numbers to them and they are irritated because they are underpaid and overworked. But if you truly need the help just wait it out I have to deal with them all the time. Have your paperwork in order and make sure you bring everything you need so you don't get caught up that's the only advice I can give

Can I Appy for rental assistance here without a job cause I’m currently not working and am in danger of losing my place to live

Danny Gnazzo | Sep 26, 2018
patrick rooney | Sep 26, 2018

If you have no income and you're going to lose your apartment apply for General Assistance and Food Stamps unfortunately if you are a single male you can only get $210 a month in general assistance and $192 in Food Stamps. Single men don't get much but you can also get assistance if your electric and gas are about to be turned off. Men don't get much in the way of assistance if you are not a single father who has custody of children. Women get more in the way of housing assistance. Men don't get anything unless they are single parents who have sole custody of children

are you able to work a certain number of hours while receiving SNAP benefits

Arba Marte | Sep 26, 2019
Chris Stoddard | Sep 26, 2019

To my knowledge, your eligibility to get snap benefits is based on your income and the number of dependents you claim. You should speak with a social services rep to determine if you are eligible, and if so how much you may receive each month.

What does SAI/BHI program intale for cash assistance

David Fritsky | Sep 26, 2018
Keith Castellano | Sep 26, 2018

Sai substance abuse initiative Program is for people in recovery that need assistance you get the sai program along with ga and it pays for your treatment if you have drug problems you cannot get assistance without getting in a treatment program and essay I pays for it and also put you under a med one form which gives you an extra $80 a month. Instead of the normal $140 you will get $200 a month. Just do your normal general assistance work paperwork and Sai is strict and does check urine screenings so make sure you stay on track or they will stop your benefits. So to sum it up you need to enroll in a treatment program that takes s a i example a methadone clinic that's what I did it actually worked out outstandingly because they paid for a better brand of medication. I graduated from Psy and then never had to do it again I still am in that program to this day.
