We currently do not have a set timeframe due to the high number of applications we receive on a daily basis. You will hear directly from a matched agency in two to four weeks if they are able to provide assistance. Your application will expire after two weeks if no agency is able to assist you at this time. Please note that the volume of need is high and exceeds our current available funding.

Unfortunately, your application has been denied due to the high volume of applicants and limited amount of available funding at this time. Although your situation and needs are important to us, we have received an overwhelming number of applications and we are not able to provide assistance to everyone who applies.
