Programs — launching soon

Relief now, and protection for what comes next.

Every program below is being designed now and will be free to the family once we launch. Grants will be paid directly to the provider — landlord, utility, or funeral home — so support reaches the bill, not a queue. The amounts shown are planned targets.

Up to $2,500

Household Stability Grant

Direct payment of rent, mortgage, utilities, or transportation for households that lost their primary income to a death or disabling illness within the last 12 months.

Up to $3,000

Final Expense Assistance

Paid directly to a licensed funeral home for burial or cremation costs when no policy or prearrangement exists.

No cost

Benefits Navigation

A caseworker reviews the household's situation and helps file for survivor benefits, employer death benefits, state programs, and unclaimed policies.

Free & open

Protected Families Workshops

Community sessions on income protection, emergency reserves, beneficiary paperwork, and what coverage actually costs — no products sold, ever.
