Are these rental & utility assistance services free?

How do I know if I'm eligible?

Do these services accept insurance or Medicaid?

Many do. Open any resource page to see accepted insurance plans when reported, or call to confirm. If you don't have insurance, ask about sliding-scale fees, charity care, or county-funded programs — many providers serve uninsured patients.
