Need financial help? Facing eviction? Utilities about to be shut off? Need help paying for prescription medication?
Emergency financial assistance is available to eligible Rockville residents facing a financial crisis through the Rockville Emergency Assistance Program.
Depending on eligibility, REAP assistance may also be available for funeral and medical expenses. Referrals for emergency food, clothing, financial/employment counseling and other assistance are also provided.
All applicants for financial assistance must have a court-issued notice of eviction or notice of pending disconnection, and must apply to the Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services. Montgomery County DHHS will submit a referral to the City of Rockville Community Services Division on behalf of eligible city residents.
Through Dec. 31, past due city water and sewer bills are not being charged a late fee and the city is not shutting off water and sewer service for delinquent accounts.
Due to COVID-19, applications for financial assistance with water utility shutoffs are being processed by phone and email.
