Rappahannock’s Department of Social Services has over $2,500 in recently allocated federal funds to provide services to Rappahannock’s unemployed. The allocations are part of the federal Emergency Jobs and Humanitarian Aid Bill and involve two separate programs: the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Social Services to the Unemployed.

According to director Sylvia Kreitler, the local welfare department has the option of contracting with a non-profit community organization to administer the programs. In order to qualify, the organization must be governed by a volunteer board, have an accounting system and be capable of providing emergency food or shelter. In addition, the organization would work with the welfare staff in setting up eligibility requirements to determine who would receive the services.
