Who can apply for Financial Assistance?

Falmouth residents struggling to pay their basic needs (rent/mortgage, electric and heat bills) are likely to be eligible to receive financial assistance from the Falmouth Service Center.

Financial Assistance is an important facet of the work that the Falmouth Service Center does. Falmouth Service Center staff and volunteers work with eligible residents, over the phone, to determine if they qualify for financial assistance.
