Latinx Relief Fund

​Latino families in Chattanooga and surrounding areas experience many challenges to economic sustainability. 

We created the Latinx Relief Fund to provide financial support to families who lack vital resources. We continue to see the impact that divisive rhetoric has had on the community and therefore, we strive to keep providing direct support to those that seek assistance. 

With your donation, we will be able to provide rent and utility support and cover some basic needs expenses. Our community is strong and resilient even during the most difficult circumstances, and we are here to support them.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Who is the Latinx Relief Fund for?

 

The Latinx Relief Fund is for Latino families in the Chattanooga area who have been impacted financially and  do not have access to resources or aid from the federal government (unemployment, federal stimulus check, etc.).

 

How much support can I expect to receive if I apply to the Latinx Relief Fund?

 

The support we are able to offer at this time is based on need and can be any amount up to $500.

 

How can I apply to receive financial support from the fund?

 

To apply, you must call our LRF hotline Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays after 9 a.m. We will process the first ten callers to the hotline of that day. If you are not able to connect with one of our staff through the hotline one day, you are welcome to call again the next day.

 

What do I need in order for my application to be processed?

 

In order for your LRF application to be processed, we must receive your name and contact information, the names of your family members, as well as a proof of need, such as an unpaid bill, a paid bill, or a receipt.

 

If I qualified for the Latinx Relief Fund last year and received funds, can I apply again this year?

 

Yes! We are starting fresh with applications for 2025, so if you received funds from us on previous years, you are welcome to apply again this year.

 

If I qualified for the Latinx Relief Fund this year and my application was approved, can I apply again later this year?

 

Unfortunately due to the limited amount of our fund reserve, at this time we ask that you do not apply more than once for the LRF.

 

I am not in need of financial assistance, but I would like to help another family. How can I do this?

 

You are welcome to donate to the community pot of our Latinx Relief Fund here.
