General Relief (GR) provides limited financial assistance to individuals and families. Someone who is eligible for assistance from Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), may or may not be eligible for GR. Because this is a local program, the kind of assistance available varies from locality to locality. Call 3-1-1 for information on the application process or to speak with a customer service representative. Visit one of our two Social Services locations for assistance.
