National Foundation for Credit Counseling

Financial Assistance · Oregon · Free

NFCC — find a nonprofit credit counselor in your area. Worth contacting for anyone facing eviction, utility shutoff, or a sudden out-of-pocket prescription cost they can't cover. LIHEAP applications open in late fall in most states; apply early — funds run out before the cold sets in. VA Aid & Attendance can add up to ,800/month to a wartime veteran's pension or surviving spouse's pension — most never apply. Open at no cost to Oregon seniors and the families supporting them.
