    I Need a Budget letter, what I’d be able to get them mailed to my home address?

    I’m working but my income is low and the landlord demanded money from me some rental money about $7878.94 which I didn’t pay, he has threatened me that's why I am looking for assistance so as not to be a victim. May you support me by increasing and reminding the food assistant? And the area and pace are not safe and I tried to move but can’t because of money, so my children can’t play around. I’m looking forward to hearing your response Thank you DSS card NO: 600890103049081129 Sending by Khalid Gindeel 493 Winthrop Avenue. New Haven. Zip code: 06511

    Yes you can walk in to apply but need to call the 18006connect # to ask any questions and wait 45 mins up to 3-4 hrs to get someone in the phone to speak with. So if you can go to an office and speak with anyone is better than phone service because they don't accept new applications over the phone.
