EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE


The Village Presbyterian Church Emergency Assistance Guidelines
In order to receive emergency assistance from Village Presbyterian Church, applicants must follow these guidelines. 
  1. You live within five county Kansas City metropolitan area: Johnson, Jackson, Clay, Platte and Wyandotte counties.
  2. You are working through case worker or existing agency to help cover the entirety of the bill. If you are not working with a case worker, you need to call United Way 211 to identify a case worker in your area to provide support.
  3. Assistance must guarantee at least 30 days of shelter, utility service or service restoration. 
  4. You have shown a case worker proof of income.
  5. You have a past due utility bill or rent in the name of an adult household member and shows that you are in danger of losing your housing or service. You must provide a copy of the bill or notice to Village Church to verify past due amount by dropping off a copy at the church, by faxing or by emailing.  Call the Emergency Assistance office for fax number or email address.
  6. Your payment history shows recent payment to a utility company.
  7. For rent assistance, Village looks at the following criteria:
    1. The landlord is willing to cooperate with the assistance process.
    2. You can pay the difference between our assistance and your past due rent.
    3. You have a reasonable plan to make future rent payments on your own.
    4. You can provide late notice or eviction notice showing outstanding rent.
    5. You can provide copy of lease.
  8. Amounts may vary, based on funding available. Typical grants are $100 for utility assistance and $200 for rent.
  9. If you or a friend or relative is paying the balance of the funds due after assistance from Village Church, the funds must be into the landlord or utility before Village makes a pledge or issues a check.  Village verifies that the funds are there when the pledge is called into the utility or landlord.  If another agency is providing the balance of the funds, you must provide the contact information for that agency so that Village can verify their commitment.
  10. Village Church does not pay for temporary housing in a hotel or motel unless requested by a case worker.
  11. Village Church does not pay for housing deposits or mortgage payments.
  12. You have not received assistance funds from Village Church in the past 12 months.
  13. Village emergency assistance is not staffed on a full-time basis. Therefore, all emergency assistance is handled over the phone on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.  Drop-ins will not be seen. The Emergency Assistance phone number is 913-671-2340.
