We use assistance-request information to review eligibility, coordinate approved support, prevent duplicate requests, maintain program and financial records, and evaluate our services. Access is limited to authorized staff and service partners who need the information for these purposes.
We do not sell or rent applicant information. We may share information when you authorize us, when needed to coordinate approved assistance, when required by law, or when reasonably necessary to protect health or safety. We use reasonable safeguards, but no online system can be guaranteed completely secure.
