About USA Assistance

USA Assistance is a free tool for finding assistance programs — rent and housing help, utility bills, food, healthcare, cash aid, and more. We are not a government agency, and no listing here ever costs you anything. You apply directly with the program that runs the help, never through us.

Where listings come from

Every entry is compiled from official sources — 211 directories, government agency pages, and the programs' own websites. Program rules, phone numbers, hours, and funding change often, so treat each guide as a starting point and confirm the details with the program before you rely on them. Each listing shows the month its information was last updated.

Why it's free

USA Assistance is free to use — no account, and no listing here ever costs you anything. We don't sell listings, and organizations can't pay to rank higher.

Something wrong?

Spotted an out-of-date number or a program that closed? Let us know and we'll fix it. Corrections from caseworkers and the programs themselves are especially welcome.
