    Who can get help
    Greene County residents. Food has no barrier (once every 30 days per household; homeless people may get smaller amounts more often). First-time financial help needs photo ID, proof of address, and the bill. Utilities need a disconnect notice; rent needs an eviction or 14-day pay-or-quit notice. Housing and utility help only for residents who do not owe money to the court.
