How do I know if I am eligible?
Residency:
You must be a resident of Falmouth to initially qualify for financial assistance with the Falmouth Service Center. If you are not a resident of Falmouth but live in another town on Cape Cod, you may be eligible for financial assistance at an organization within your town. Please call The Needy Fund at 508-778-5661.
Received Financial Assistance MORE than 18 Months Ago:
If you are a Falmouth resident and have not received financial assistance from the Falmouth Service Center within the past 18 months, then you are most likely eligible to receive additional assistance at this time. Normally, the Falmouth Service Center can only help a household once every 18 months BUT during COVID, we are currently reviewing all requests on a case by case basis. We will check our records to verify the last date financial assistance was provided to you to determine if you are eligible. If you are eligible for help, then you do not need to attend the our Financial Assistance Workshop again.

Do Not Remember When I Received Financial Assistance:
