# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In New Haven, we recognize the importance of nurturing our students' social, emotional, and mental health. Our schools are focused on supporting and empowering students in their personal and academic growth, ensuring that they not only excel academically but also thrive emotionally and socially. We believe that a holistic approach to education is essential for preparing our students to lead fulfilling and successful lives.

To support the wellness of our New Haven students and staff, we partner with the following agencies to provide additional services.

, a school-based mental health company, to provide 1:1 teletherapy services to our students, ages 10+, with qualified clinicians. Students ages 5 to 12 can also receive teletherapy services that include their families' participation. These services will be provided at DAYBREAK HEALTH TELETHERAPY SERVICES
New Haven has partnered with Daybreak Health no cost to families throughout the year, and availability is not reliant on whether a student has health insurance.

Children who are mentally healthy can think clearly, pay better attention, and learn new skills. These evidence-based teletherapy programs have proven to positively impact academic outcomes, such as behavioral improvements, better grades, and higher attendance.

If you'd like to inquire about teletherapy for your student, please reach out to your school counselor, school psychologist, or site administrator.

New Haven is pleased to offer this service to the New Haven community through the generosity of a grant from Kaiser Permanente.

Need help paying your bills? Call 211 for help

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
"I have had anxiety since all of this started, I was barely making it before, but I was ok. I feel so much better now knowing that I am receiving this help. I knew if I could just get a little help, I could stay caught up."

United Way of the CSRA 211 Client

Contact 211

Millions of people in the United States experience food, housing, and financial insecurity every year. Whether you need help paying one bill or many, or are looking for information to help someone else, you are not alone. Your local 211 agency has the most up-to-date information about local assistance that may be available to you.

If you prefer to talk to someone, you can always call 211 to get connected to a local specialist. Simply call 211 from a cell phone or landline to speak with a live, highly trained service professional.

If you prefer to text, chat online, or search your local 211 online database, find your local 211's other contact information here.

Review and Apply for Benefits

There are several state and federal benefits available to help you with housing, utilities, food, and medical expenses. Some benefits differ by state, but a good place to start is using the Benefit Finder on benefits.gov. Simply answer a few questions and you'll receive information about benefits you may be eligible for.

Housing and Utilities

Expand this section

The cost of housing and housing-related expenses, like water and power, has been increasing across the U.S. for many years. Many households spend more than half what they earn on housing expenses, and the 211 network receives more calls from people looking for help paying housing and utilities bills than any other need.

Rental Assistance

Many organizations offer rental assistance funds or can help you discuss a payment plan with your landlord. Contact 211 for available local assistance to help you pay rental bills.

Use this tool, created by the Pew Charitable Trusts and the Stanford Legal Design Lab, to find local information about your rights and protections as a renter during the COVID-19 pandemic.

If you need help writing a letter to your landlord to request help paying or delaying rent, use this free tool.

If you live in a property associated with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), you can call 877-542-9723 to speak with a housing counselor. Not sure if your property is covered? Search your address on the HUD website here.

Mortgage Assistance

If you are experiencing difficulties making your mortgage payments, you are encouraged to contact your lender or loan servicer directly to inquire about foreclosure prevention options that are available. Your lender will be aware of any federal protections or programs offering additional assistance to borrowers because of the pandemic.

If you are experiencing difficulty communicating with your mortgage lender or servicer about your need for mortgage relief, there are organizations that can help by contacting lenders and servicers on your behalf.

General Utilities Assistance

Many utilities providers offer programs to assist households when they cannot pay their bills on time. Companies may offer a payment plan or temporary discount on your bill if you can pay some, but not all, of what you owe. Some companies also work with local non-profits to provide additional financial assistance to qualifying households.

Contact your utility provider, explain your situation, and ask about options to help you pay. If you are unsure how to contact them, this information is usually included on your monthly bill.

LIHEAP: Low Income Home Energy Assistance Programs

The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is a state benefit program that assists eligible low-income households with their heating and cooling energy costs, bill payment assistance, energy crisis assistance, weatherization and energy-related home repairs.

To find out whether you are eligible to receive LIHEAP benefits, contact your  state or tribal LIHEAP office.

Healthcare and Medical Treatment

Expand this section

Healthcare costs in the United States are hard to manage for millions of families, especially when an unforeseen injury or illness occurs. You can always call 211 to speak to someone who can help, or start by using the resources below.

Health Insurance

The best way to afford critical medical treatment, preventive care, and prescriptions is to ensure you and your loved ones are enrolled in health insurance.

If you do not have the option to enroll in health insurance through your employer, the government offers a marketplace of affordable plans. You can explore all of your options here. On the same website, you can also determine if you qualify for Medicaid, Medicare or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), which provide free or low-cost health insurance.

If you recently lost health coverage as a result of job loss, death, divorce, or other qualifying life events, you may be able to take advantage of COBRA (the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act). This program gives workers and their families the ability to continue their group health benefits for a limited time while alternatives are found. For more information, click here.

Paying for Prescriptions

Even with health insurance, many struggle to pay for the medication prescribed by a health care professional.

Download a free SingleCare Prescriptions Savings Card and present it to your pharmacist when picking up your next prescription. This savings card is available to anyone, regardless of health insurance, and can help you save on any prescribed medication. You can use the search on the SingleCare website to find out more about how much you may save on your medication.

RxAssist is a nationally recognized, web-based medication assistance resource center. Established in 1999 with funding from The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, RxAssist gives providers, advocates, consumer and caregivers comprehensive, up-to-date information in an easy to use format. Search the RxAssist database to locate prescription savings for brand name and generic drugs.

Low-Cost Medical Care

Even if you have health insurance, many plans do not provide sufficient coverage for areas like mental health or substance use treatment. Contact 211 to learn about low-cost or free services in your area.

Search for a nearby Health Center that provides medical options on a sliding scale according to your ability to pay using this link. Health Centers offer a variety of services including medical, dental, vision, and behavioral health care.

If you are looking for substance use or other mental health services, you can use the SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) online search tool. After searching by location, click "More Information" about a particular site and scroll to the Payment Information section to see which insurance is accepted and whether the provider offers payment assistance.

Open Path Psychotherapy Collective is another resource to help find lower-cost mental health and counseling options available in your local community and online.

Food Benefits

Expand this section

There are several federal and state benefits programs that can help you pay for food and other essential items.

SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program)

SNAP provides nutrition benefits to supplement the food budget of needy families so they can purchase healthy food and move towards self-sufficiency.

To get SNAP benefits, you must apply in the state in which you currently live and you must meet certain requirements, including resource and income limits..

Learn more here and to check eligibility requirements to see if you qualify.

Already a SNAP recipient? Fresh EBT is a free smart phone app available to check your SNAP balance and purchase history. Fresh EBT also includes a COVID response help center with information about changes to government benefits programs and connections to local organizations and resources. Learn more or download Fresh EBT at www.freshebt.com.

WIC (Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children)

WIC is a federal financial assistance program offered through state governments to assist low-income households in purchasing essential food and supplies for pregnant women, infants, and young children.

WIC benefits can be used to purchase infant food and formula as well as nutritional foods like eggs, milk, cereal, peanut butter, fruits, and vegetables. Households enrolled in WIC can access health screenings, breastfeeding counseling, and immunization referrals.

Find your state agency for information on applying here.

There is no immigration status restriction or requirement for WIC in most states.

Other Financial Assistance Programs

Expand this section

Occasionally programs exist for certain financial situations. When resources are limited or you may not qualify for services, it's okay to call 211 again and ask about other ideas or options. Exploring new ways to reduce your expenditures or applying for another program can sometimes provide temporary help in difficult situations.

Student Loan Savings Calculator

For many Americans, managing their student loan debt is stressful and expensive. This student loan savings calculator can help you better understand your debt, optimize your repayment options, and enroll in the best plan for your financial situation. The goal is to help you enroll in government programs that can lower your monthly payments and potentially forgive your debt. The average Savi user reduces their loan payment by $156 per month, with some users paying as low as $0 per month.

Grocery Worker's Appreciation Fund

To show appreciation to grocery workers for their contributions during COVID-19 and for helping our communities every day by ensuring people have access to food and essential supplies and providing extra assistance when needed, Kendall-Jackson partnered with United Way Worldwide, pledging $2 million through August 2030, to create the Grocery Worker's Appreciation Fund.

The fund, administered by United Way Worldwide, aims to help eligible grocery workers in need of financial assistance, with life's surprises and urgent needs, like health care expenses or automotive repairs. The fund will also connect grocery workers with local resources through 211. If you are in need of assistance click here to apply.

For Visitors

TAKE YOUR EBT CARD AND ID

Admission is $3 or less for up to four people per EBT card

ENJOY

There's no limit-go to as many participating museums as you like, as many times as you like!

Do I need to register for anything?

No. Visitors do not need to register for anything on this website. You can just go to most participating museums, show your SNAP EBT card and a photo ID, and you will receive the Museums for All admission rate. You can go back as many times as you wish-there's no limit. Due to COVID-19, some museums participating in Museums for All have adjusted their hours and ticket purchasing policies. Before visiting a museum, please call or check their website to see if they are open or require advance registrations. Check your local museum's website for more information.

Do I pay with my SNAP EBT card?

No, your SNAP EBT card is only for identification purposes, showing that you meet the criteria. Any admission costs must be paid for with alternate methods (cash, credit cards, etc.).

I have one SNAP EBT card. How many people can get the Museums for All rate with that card?

Each SNAP EBT card allows up to four people to get the Museums for All rate. Some of the participating museums will allow more than four to enter, so it is a good idea to check their individual policies ahead of time.

Can I use WIC or something other than SNAP to get the Museums for All rate?

Many of the participating museums will accept WIC or some other form of identification, but they are not required to do so by the Museums for All guidelines. Please check with the museum you wish to visit ahead of time, as we cannot guarantee that they will honor anything besides the SNAP EBT card.

The museum I want to visit isn't on this list. Can I still get the Museums for All rate there?

Although most museums offer some kind of reduced admission program, we cannot guarantee that you will get an admission rate of $3 or less to any museum that is not a participating museum. The list of participating museums is updated constantly. If you think a museum that is not participating in Museums for All should participate, please let them know about the program.

Can I use my SNAP EBT card in another state?

Yes! Museums participating in Museums for All will accept SNAP EBT cards from any state. If you live in one state, but want to visit a participating museum in a different state, you can!

"A guest today was pleasantly surprised upon seeing the Museums for All price, and when I shared more details about the program with her, was very excited that she would be able to do more fun things around town with her child. She said we made her day! "

On-site aid is excluded from this calculation.

One licensed organization, multiple facilities
Separate applications must be filed for each type of facility. This rule applies even if the facilities are under one licensed organization.

For example, an entity with a homeless shelter and a hospice facility must apply separately for each facility.
Tax-exempt status
The organization that operates the facility must provide a copy of the 501(c)(3) document. This document certifies tax-exempt status.

Food Distribution

Centro offers weekly food distribution to the hungry

Every Tuesday from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

Fourth Thursday of each month from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, except November.

Third Thursday of November from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

Numbers are handed out at 9:00 AM to assign order of service.

Food items vary week to week and may include fresh vegetables, dairy products, meat or poultry, non-perishable canned or dry foods, and more. The items available are different each week and are not guaranteed. We give what we have.

How it Works

We often have a long line of community members who need food, and it is difficult to be fair and ensure everyone is served. We give everyone a number when they arrive, and we distribute food packages in numerical order.

You may arrive early. We hand out numbers beginning at 9:00 AM, and food distribution begins at 10:00 AM.

Food Sources

Food items are provided by Alameda County Food Bank, Daily Bowl, retail outlets, and other agencies. Pet meals, when available, are provided by the Ohlone Humane Society.
