Opportunities to Support Rent & Utilities Needs
ICS provides emergency financial aid for rent and utilities to individuals and families facing temporary hardship. We are dedicated to fostering stability, dignity, and hope by addressing the immediate needs of our neighbors so they can have a secure environment in which to thrive. For more than 50 years, we have served this area as an all-volunteer non-profit organization. Our assistance is available to residents of Issaquah, much of Sammamish and Newcastle, and parts of Renton, Bellevue and Maple Valley. Volunteers are always needed. Our office is open 9am - 11am, weekdays.
When a family is in danger of losing its home in a crisis, Hopelink offers a program that can help to provide a portion of the funds needed to prevent eviction. Preventing homelessness costs at least five times less than helping a family regain stable housing after it is lost
Hopelink Energy Assistance Program
Hopelink may be able to provide up to $1,000 of your home heating costs each year. The goal of Hopelink’s energy program is to keep members of our community safe and warm, and to contribute to a stable home environment. We believe a household should never have to choose between heat and electricity or other necessities, such as food, health care, or shelter. Energy assistance funds enable our community members to devote their resources to other crucial expenses.
