Catholic Charities St. Augustine’s emergency financial assistance program is a recognized and proven way to prevent homelessness in Flagler, Putnam and St. Johns counties. Our program facilitates and distributes grants from several federal and state/local agencies to serve those in our community who are struggling to pay utility bills, rent/mortgage payments or need food assistance. By aiding them with these basic needs, we ensure they can stay safely in their homes.
