Important Information

AJFC is a local provider of CSBG and LIHEAP services. Appointment scheduling is managed through our online system, and STAFF CANNOT make appointments by request.

If you arrive late (15 minute grace period) to your appointment, you will not be seen and you will need to reschedule. We recommend you to cancel your existing appointment and schedule another one if you are unable to arrive on time. Due to limited lobby space, we prefer that only one person come to the appointment.

Receiving an email confirmation for your appointment does not guarantee assistance approval. Approvals are contingent upon funding availability.  Eligible families shall be served on a first-come, first-serve basis by the date of application.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
