Allowable Expenses

The Special Needs Assistance for Seniors program helps seniors who are facing financial difficulty in paying one-time extraordinary expenses. A senior's income level and the type of expense applied for will determine the amount funded.

Special need expenses normally funded by the program include appliances, some medical costs, and essential minor home repairs.

Some items are not normally considered. They include vacations, gifts to family, and cosmetic home renovations such as re-decorating or landscaping.

Special circumstances may be considered on a case-by-case basis. If you have special circumstances, please explain on a separate page and attach it with your documentation.
