Emergency Assistance Fund

We are honored to stand beside our veterans through life’s challenges. The Vets 4 Vets Emergency Assistance Fund supports local veterans facing unexpected hardship — whether from financial strain, sudden life changes, or urgent personal needs.

Cash assistance may help with food, clothing, transportation, temporary shelter, car repairs, employment-related needs, or other essential expenses. Every request is reviewed on a case-by-case basis to ensure timely and compassionate support.

If you are a veteran — or know one — in need of assistance, please complete the Emergency Funds Request Assistance Form below. We’re here to help.

Important Information:

• Submit ALL requests for consideration on the attached form.

• The amount available per request depends on your situation (MAX $250), with additional funds available for qualifying dependents.

• Due to the nature of this program, these funds are available to veterans that RESIDE in SANTA CRUZ COUNTY and are limited to a ONE-TIME BASIS ONLY.

• Providers, please discuss program limitations with your veteran.
