All requests for use of these funds will be reviewed on an individual, case-by-case basis. The requests come from the case managers as they learn of hardships their consumer may be facing. The Executive Director or designate will make the final decision as to whether the fund is accessed.
Depending on the circumstances, some disbursed funds may be considered a loan with repayment expected under terms agreed upon by both parties. No repayment of funds will be deemed necessary if elements surrounding the request are considered appropriate and no fault of the recipient’s own making. VMRC will provide an annual accounting of this fund each April to the VMRC Board of Directors.
