Forsyth County Social Services has two programs to help ‘at risk’ residents in Forsyth.

Crisis Intervention Program (or CIP)

CIP funds through this Federal program are available year around to assist qualified individuals with heating or cooling bills ($600 max).

Emergency Assistance Program

You must have a verified ‘crisis’ that makes it to pay for rent (mortgage) or utilities. This is a ONE time payout over a 12 month period.

(Up to $1,200 for rent.  Up to $600 for utilities. Or up to $1,200 for both rent + utilities).
