Financial Assistance

St. Paul Lutheran Church of Davenport has established a Financial Assistance program designed to help individuals with needs in a caring and orderly manner. Each month, three individuals will be selected to receive $500 in assistance to be applied directly toward rent or utilities.

Eligibility: An individual may receive financial assistance through St. Paul once every TWO years. The appropriate information and/or documentation is required in order to be eligible for this assistance, which will be paid directly to the landlord, utility company, etc. This assistance is intended to be preventative in nature. Therefore, to be eligible, it must be confirmed that eviction, utility shutoffs, etc. will not occur this month, should this financial assistance be received. Due to the large number of requests each month, filling out this form DOES NOT guarantee you’ll receive financial assistance that month. If you don’t receive a phone call by the Monday after the form closes (dates listed below), you are welcome to submit the form again for the next month.

Rights:
  • You have the right to be informed of and ask questions about the services being provided.
  • You also have the right to confidentiality. Information about you will be kept confidential by the church staff assisting you with this service. You will be asked to sign an authorization for church staff to speak to your landlord, utility company, etc. on your behalf.
  • You have a right to receive a copy of these policies and informed consent.
Applicants must have:
  • A valid driver’s license
  • A current lease/rental agreement or previous month’s utility bill

Please note: This form is available each month. It closes at 11:59 p.m. the day before the selection date and reopens for the next month the day after the selection date. If you are selected to receive rental assistance, you will be contacted on the following dates by 9 a.m.
