Emergency Assistance

Skyline CAP, Inc. provides emergency assistance to residents in our three-county service area (Madison, Orange, and Greene counties). Emergency Assistance funds provide payments toward transportation and medical expenses, past due utility or rent/mortgage payments and food, when an unexpected crisis occurs. Assistance is limited to a specific amount and is offered in conjunction with budget counseling, short-term case management and referrals are made where applicable. Other resources within the county can provide additional assistance for those bills that exceed the allowable amount.

For assistance, contact the Emergency Assistance coordinator in your county:

Madison County: Sara Hall 540-948-2237x230

Orange County: Ruth Bramlett 540-672-7490

Greene County: Maxine Shipp or Janet Frye 434-985-6066

Skyline C.A.P. Thrift Shop (located in Stanardsville, Greene County) offers seasonal clothing for adults and children at minimal cost or, in emergencies, at no cost at all. Community volunteers operate the shop. For more details about the thrift shop, please click here.

Emergency Homelessness Prevention is a referral service to Albemarle Housing Improvement Program (AHIP) in Albemarle County or Culpeper Community Development Corporation in Culpeper County to provide short-term financial support in the form of deposits or rent payments (up to three months) for families moving into a home or behind in their payments. Eligible participants are homeless families or families about to be evicted. Referrals for this service are generally made in conjunction with Emergency Assistance or Housing Counseling.

Skyline CAP, Inc. also offers Emergency Home Repair services. In Madison and Orange counties, this is done through a partnership with Rapidan Better Housing.
