Maine DHHS General Assistance helps individuals and families who do not have enough resources to meet basic needs. Assistance may help pay for household or personal supplies, food, housing costs such as rent or temporary housing, fuel and utilities, medical and dental needs, prescriptions, medical supplies, and burial costs. General Assistance is administered locally by municipalities, so residents should apply through the city or town where they live. This program is intended to help with immediate needs and is available to eligible Maine residents experiencing financial hardship.
