How We Help

What We Do & How It Works

Collective Support is a free referral service. When you contact us, we share information about programs that may be able to help with housing, utilities, internet, or food costs. We do not administer any program, handle money, or manage cases on anyone's behalf.

Please read before contacting us

Collective Support is an independent, free referral service. We are not a government agency and are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with any government program.
We do not provide money, financial aid, food, loans, debt management, or any other direct services. We share information about external programs that may be able to help — you apply to those programs directly through their own official channels.
Collective Support is not a nonprofit, charity, or licensed financial services provider.
This service is completely free. We do not charge fees, accept donations, or receive referral payments of any kind.

The Referral Process

You contact us

Call or fill out the contact form. Tell us what type of help you are looking for — housing, utilities, internet, or food.

We share relevant program information

Based on what you tell us, we share the names, descriptions, and contact information for programs that may be relevant. This is information only — we do not verify your eligibility, submit anything on your behalf, or make any guarantees.

You contact those programs directly

You reach out to each program through its own official channel. You apply yourself, provide your own information, and make your own decisions. We have no further involvement.

Important: We provide information only. We do not submit applications, negotiate with landlords or utilities, manage debt, transmit funds, or handle food on anyone's behalf. All decisions and applications are made directly by you with the relevant program.
