In Forsyth County, 16.6% of the population (60,638 people), live at or below the federal poverty level. It is not difficult, therefore, to understand how one event – whether it is lack of affordable health care, job loss, hospitalization, or car repair – could result in a family being unable to pay their monthly expenses, including food or medicine.
Since 1973, the ministry has consistently provided direct services to the poor, working poor, elderly, disabled, and others who find themselves in a crisis. These services are received through a personal interview and assessment procedure.
Information for Those Seeking Assistance
Crisis Control Ministry provides financial assistance for rent/mortgage, utilities, and heating fuel. We assist people in obtaining affordable housing through rent and utility deposit assistance. Persons seeking financial assistance will undergo an interview process to determine the need, available resources, involvement of other agencies, and a realistic plan to move them towards relative independence. When you request assistance from Crisis Control Ministry, you are asked to bring this information.
