The financial assistance program is a comprehensive program that encourages needy families to become self-sufficient by offering financial aid, rental assistance, vehicles, and access to resources like driver’s ed. This program currently serves more than 15 families per month. The process to become a client of Al-Misbaah’s program is a lengthy one -- we first conduct a review of the application and ensure that it’s complete. Afterwards, we conduct a home evaluation where we can gauge how much physical assistance the family needs, i.e. furniture, household items. Finally, we return to the table alongside our colleagues and come up with a several-month long plan for assistance, usually with conditions for the family to seek jobs or education. Alhamdulillah, this program has been able to assist families out of homelessness and transitionary housing into more permanent, long-term housing.

Food Assistance
The bi-monthly food distributions are another key program from the charitable aid department. Our staff pre-plan, order food, and coordinate box assemblies in order to serve upwards of 500 families a month with key food items. The food distributions work hand in hand with the financial assistance program as we hope to eliminate families’ worries about basic means of survival -- food.
