City of Waterville - General Assistance

It is a service administered for the aid of people who are unable to provide the basic necessities to maintain themselves or their families. It provides a specific amount and type of aid for defined needs during a limited period and is not a continual categorical assistance program. General Assistance is administered in accordance with the City’s ordinance and Maine state law. General Assistance gives help with basic necessities such as food, shelter, fuel, electricity, and medical services. We expect that recipients meet all eligibility requirements when we grant assistance. Caseworkers actively work with applicants to ensure that they make referrals with outside support agencies.
