State & Federal Assistance Programs

Many of you out there might already know about the various programs, but here’s a basic summary of all of the assistance programs that I’m aware of. The requirements for each program may vary, but if you are Unemployed (and with children) like myself, you more than likely qualify for the many of these programs, regardless of your accrued resources (Home, Cars, $$, etc.). Feel free to post/comment if you know of more!!! I’m open to anyone for questions if you have them.
