Good Neighbor Program Application |
Good Neighbor Program Participant Information
If you have not completed Step One please be sure to go back and complete the Good Neighbor Intake Form.
You are now working to complete Step Two the Good Neighbor Participant Application.
Rest assured that all requests are handled with confidentiality by our dedicated Good Neighbor Team, the referral partner and given references in the application. While we strive to respond promptly, please note that it may take up to 72 hours for our team to reach out for additional information or documentation.
Our program operates on two Application & Onboarding cycles each month, with deadlines as follows:
Cycle One
- Application Deadline: 1st Wednesday of the month
- Application Evaluation: 2nd Wednesday of the month
- Application Decisions, Program Agreement, and Payments: 3rd Week of the month
Cycle Two
- Application Deadline: 3rd Wednesday of the month
- Application Evaluation: 4th Wednesday of the month
- Application Decisions, Program Agreement, and Payments: 1st Week of the month
This means applications received after the 1st Wednesday in the month will not be processed until the 2nd Cycle of the month and so on.
While we endeavor to assist as many individuals and families as possible, please understand that our resources are limited, and we rely on the dedication of our volunteer team. At the heart of the Good Neighbor Program lies a commitment to fostering growth and stability, rather than providing one-time emergency support. We are here to walk alongside you on your journey toward a brighter future.
