A safety net in times of crisis for individuals and families in Finney County.
The Finney County Partnership for Unmet Needs was established in 2024 to provide one-time assistance to individuals and families who had exhausted all other avenues of assistance.
Lower-wage jobs, rising costs, and underemployment make affording a basic household budget increasingly difficult. When faced with an unexpected home or car repair, medical travel, or other financial crisis, families and individuals operating on a survival-level income often lack the safety net needed to maintain financial stability. The fund for Unmet Needs exists to help people who need a hand up to get them through a difficult situation.
What type of financial help is available?
Transportation: Funding is available, for Finney County residents, to help defray transportation costs for appointments that require travel outside of Finney County. Appointments can be for medical, legal, immigration, etc, and proof of appointment must be presented at the time of application.
General Help: Assistance is provided for basic needs such as home or car repairs, medication, etc. Clients are required to pursue assistance through all available public agencies before their needs will be considered.
Requests for fuel will be paid in the form of gas cards and will be calculated based on mileage to and from the community. If hotel or other funds are requested, they will be paid directly to the hotel, mechanic, or vendor.
