Clients may receive financial assistance with rent (must have a 3-day notice from landlord), utilities (must have a final notice from FPL and water department; BHH does not cover deposits or reconnect fees), and childcare (through our Children's Assistance Program). Each situation is reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
