Welcome to the Arlington Thrive application for financial assistance.

Financial assistance is available through our Community Resilience Fund (CRF). Funds open at the beginning of each month and are given on a first-come, first-served basis until they run out for that month. We can assist with up to $400 of your bill. Applications are reviewed according to the requirements listed below. 

CRF Eligibility Requirements:

• Must be an Arlington County resident
• Must have a household annual median income (AMI) of 50% or less
• Must owe less than or have an outstanding balance of 1,000.00
• Must be comfortable providing documentation such as lease, bank statements, rental ledger, utility or medical bills, ID/Passport, or any other documentation needed to determine eligibility. See more information here.

If you have any questions about this application or need help completing it, please email us at assistance@arlingtonthrive.org.

Unfortunately, we are unable to assist with bills that are higher than $1000. Here are some other resources available to Arlington residents for financial assistance. Please look into these resources as they may be able to assist you with your need or lower your bill. If you lower your bill to less that $1000, please come back and apply with us again.
