Emergency Family Stability Assistance

Keeping families housed, fed, and supported through crisis

When a family experiences loss, illness, or sudden transition, financial stability can collapse overnight. Through community partnerships and limited grant-funded support,
Antara Pathways provides short-term assistance for essentials such as food, rent, and utilities.

Our goal is to help families stay safe and stable while rebuilding, ensuring that no one faces hunger or homelessness while navigating grief and transition.

Assistance is need-based and funding-dependent, with priority given to
low-income, disabled, LGBTQ+, and single-parent households impacted by loss or medical crisis.
Families also receive resource navigation and case management to connect them with sustainable community programs.

When we care for the living, we honor the lives we’ve lost.
