Chickasaw County General Assistance

MISSION: To provide financial assistance to poor and needy citizens of Chickasaw County. Assistance may include temporary help with rent, utilities, food, and medications when the person cannot provide these items for themselves. Payment may also be made for emergency medical situations, and we determine eligibility for persons to obtain medical assistance at University Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City. Funeral expenses may also be paid for indigent persons. Eligibility for these programs will be determined by the General Assistance Director after the person fills out an application and provides substantiating proof of need.
