Dislocated Worker Grants (DWG—part of WIOA) (the State Emergency Relief Program)
The State Emergency Relief Program provides immediate help to individuals and families facing conditions of extreme hardship or for emergencies that threaten health and safety. SER helps low-income households meet emergency needs such as:
- Heat & Utilities
- Home Repairs
- Relocation Assistance
- Home Ownership Services
- Burial
The DWG program is primarily designed to maintain low-income households who are normally able to meet their needs but occasionally need help when emergency situations arise. (The DWG program is not an appropriate solution to ongoing or chronic financial difficulties.)
