A federal housing assistance program could be of great help to Cape Island families facing the challenges of high housing costs, slow wage growth, and seasonal employment. Eligibility for the program is based on income and local rental rates.
For one single mother of a teenager who lives in our neighborhood, the income part of the equation became an issue. Now that her children are older and her child care costs have decreased, she has transitioned to full-time work. With her additional income, her rent has increased by her 50%.
Our neighbor needed help to bridge the gap until he received his new paycheck. She contacted the Cape Cod Times Needy Fund and thanks to your generous donations, she was able to receive the help she needed. She expressed her gratitude from the bottom of her heart and said she felt more optimistic about her family’s future.
What is the Cape Cod Times Needy Fund?
The nonprofit Cape Cod Times Needy Fund has provided emergency financial assistance to thousands of Cape Codders and Islanders since 1936. This assistance is made possible through the continued generosity of neighbors helping neighbors.
The Needy Fund provides short-term emergency assistance to Cape and Island residents to enable them to go to work or remain in their homes. People in need submit requests for assistance to the Needy Fund, which then pays for goods and services, such as medical expenses, through a voucher system. Needy Fund recipients receive no cash.
How to donate to the Needy Fund
Tax-deductible donations can be made online here.
Checks payable to Cape Cod Times Needy Fund should be mailed to: Cape Cod Times Needy Fund, PO Box 36, Hyannis, MA 02601.
How to receive hardship fund assistance
