Town of Turner - General Assistance

Turner's General Assistance program is an emergency assistance program for food, housing, electrical, heating, and several other essential household expenses. This program operates through the Maine Department of Health and Human Services, which establishes the eligibility criteria and requires a comprehensive application process. If you are experiencing a financial emergency and would like to apply for General Assistance, please come to the Turner Town Office to pick up an application, or click on the application link on the left. General Assistance interviews are scheduled on Thursdays from 12:00 P.M. to 4:30 P.M. If you are experiencing an emergency, special consideration can be made. Benefits under this program are subject to strict eligibility guidelines, so financial aid is not guaranteed.
