Other Sources of Help

The Relief Fund is available to assist Marshall County families impacted financially by COVID 19 with rent/mortgage payment, water bill, sanitation service and food.  Families must be referred by a community agency, employer or faith community.

Families may qualify when the household income has been impacted by one of the following: 
  • Loss of job or reduction in work hours reducing household income
  • Quarantined due to a positive test or experiencing coronavirus symptoms 
  • Advised by doctor to self-quarantined
  • Caring for children whose school or child care has closed and household income has been reduced.
Funds cannot be used for payment of back rent or utilities. Immigration Status is not asked about or considered for these funds.

Individuals should call the CAPS office at 641-752-1730 to complete an application. If approved,  all funds will be sent to landlords or water company and not directly to the family.   During the application process families will be referred to other agencies to help meet their needs.
