Emergency Assistance
Southside Community Center helps people in need who reside in Hays County with rent and utilities. To receive assistance, please book an appointment and complete the attached form—including the documents listed to the right of this page. If there are no appointments available, please check back daily.
Please note: Our appointments are often booked 2 weeks out. If you cannot make an appointment, please reschedule with us ASAP so we can open the slot for another client. Do not attempt to make multiple appointments—one is sufficient.
