Sources Of Temporary Financial Help & Assistance

Cash emergences are the equalizing factor all people share, rich and poor alike, regardless of station in life. Most sources of temporary financial help require collateral for credit or alternative qualification under federal poverty guidelines. Low income and unemployed persons receiving unemployment assistance qualify for free legal advice under most pro bono programs, and may also qualify for housing subsidies, food stamp supplements, and free medical care.

Cash assistance is almost non-existence, yet may be available from charitable and/or non-profit organizations. Filing bankruptcy eliminates debts, yet does nothing to generate cash for living expenses. For temporary financial help coping with living expenses, public assistance programs, for specific items, require an application and qualification that may require weeks or months to process.
