Behind on rent or utility payments? Can’t afford to renew registration on the car you drive to work? Impacted by COVID-19? We may be able to help. CCHF offers emergency assistance to individuals with bleeding disorders (or their custodial parents or guardians) who live in its service area—up to $500 yearly and $3,000 lifetime. And this year we received additional funds through National Hemophilia Foundation and he Hemophilia Alliance.

Subject to approval and available funds, we will make payments on behalf of eligible individuals directly to landlords, utility companies or agencies like DMV (not to individuals). If you are in need, don’t wait until the last minute to apply. Approval and submission of payment can take several days. Fill out the form and email it to info@cchfsac.org.
