Employment, utility, and public benefits assistance
Alice has two jobs and has been applying for different types of assistance to meet her and her husband’s needs. They were getting behind on bills and were struggling to find money to pay for utilities, rent, and food. Her husband lost his job due to COVID-19 and was still looking for work.
2-1-1 Arizona helped her schedule an interview to apply for SNAP as she continues to look for higher-paying work. Alice was behind a month in her utility bills and was unable to catch up with her current income. 2-1-1 Arizona helped Alice catch up on utility bills, apply for public benefits and explore different job postings to find something that would sustain her current situation.
