Community Resilience Fund Requirements
  • Must be an Arlington County Resident
  • Must have a household AMI (Average Median Income) of 50% or less
  • Must owe less than or have an outstanding balance of 1,000.00
  • Must be comfortable providing documentation such as lease, bank statements, rental ledger, utility or medical bills, ID/Passport, or any other documentation needed to determine eligibility

We understand that many federal employees and contractors may need unanticipated help. Our emergency assistance funds are currently reserved for Arlington County residents who have been under 50% AMI for three months or longer.  If you meet this eligibility requirement, we encourage you to apply for Community Resilience Funds. If you do not qualify, we’ve gathered a list of additional resources that may be helpful to you. Arlington is a community that looks out for one another, and we are committed to standing by our neighbors during this challenging time. Please check back regularly, as we will continue updating this page with new resources as the situation evolves.
