You may be eligible if you:

  • Have a gross household income below 150 percent of the federal poverty level based on household size
  • Live in Virginia
  • Are a U.S. citizen or a qualified immigrant

According to an email from the Community Foundation of the Central Blue Ridge, your household may be eligible for aid if your gross total income last calendar month is equal or below the maximum monthly income outlined below.
