I’m facing immediate eviction. How long will it take to get assistance from SNAP?
SNAP’s Housing Stability for Singles program is unable to provide emergency rental assistance. Clients are selected from a waiting pool. If you are enrolled in our program, SNAP will attempt to work with your landlord to slow down the eviction process.
Important: Due to high demand, this program cannot guarantee immediate assistance. If you are facing an active eviction, please also review the legal aid and mediation resources listed below. They can help while you wait.
