Bridge Grants assist persons who've recently returned to work after a period of unemployment, who will probably meet the self-sufficiency standard once they've received a full month's pay, but who are likely to be evicted from their homes or lose critical services prior to that time. Some limitations apply: - The Bridge Grant is available exclusively to persons who are employed in a traditional full-time (32 hours per week) job, started working that job 45 days ago or less, have received at least one paycheck from their new jobs, and have an eviction, repossession or shut-off notice in hand or are at least two month's behind on their mortgage payments at the time of their applications. - While we prioritize Bridge Grants and work to fund them as quickly as we can, we cannot effectively assist persons who are less than three business days from eviction, foreclosure, repossession or shut-off at the time of their applications (a minimum of ten to fourteen days' lead time is preferable). - The maximum grant available under this program is fixed at $1,500.00, payable directly to the applicant's creditor (like his or her mortgage lender), but we will work to negotiate with an applicant's creditor of record to resolve his or her issue for the lowest cost possible.
