2022 Grants have started taking affect and we are exited to share!

Access & Functional Needs Program
FSCNC has begun contacting applicants that were previously approved for this program. Please bear with us, as this process will take a little time.
 
We are also now seeking 600 additional qualified residents for the Access and Functional Needs Program.
Low-income senior residents, or low-income individuals with a disability, can receive defensible space clearing services within 100’ of their homes.

Please apply or re-apply even if you believe have been overqualified in past years. For instance: a 2-person household with income of $63,000.00 or less per year is, in fact, qualified in 2022.
