• Permanent Supportive Housing Initiative: Clients are selected to participate in this program by case managers. Eligibility guidelines are strict, as funds are limited. To be eligible, clients must be on a project-based or Section 8 housing waiting list.
• Food Pantry: ARG provides once monthly food pantry orders to those in need. Each food pantry order contains enough food to provide 5-7 meals according to household size.
• Benevolent Fund: This assistance program provides financial assistance to assist with costs associated with prescription drug co-pays and emergency services. Client eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis.
