About this resource

Who can use this

• Assistance is exclusively available to clients deemed eligible for HEN by DSHS. Washington Gorge Action Programs will confirm eligibility and evaluate the client's risk of homelessness to see if they qualify for financial aid, although such assistance is not guaranteed; all clients can receive essential needs support. Criteria for Housing and Essential Needs Grant Funds include individuals living outdoors, in unsuitable buildings, emergency shelters, temporary housing, or escaping domestic violence. Significant risk indicators include eviction notices, utility shut-off warnings, or late payment notifications. Additional considerations may involve overcrowded living situations, condemned residences, unexpected utility cost increases, physical disabilities, chronic health issues, past institutional care, mental health or substance abuse history, housing credit issues, pending rental property foreclosures, recent discharges from facilities, or previous homelessness within the last year. All clients' options will be evaluated, including support from friends, family, churches, social services, or other housing possibilities.
