What is H.R. 1 and Why Does It Matter to Crisis Assistance Ministry and You?

Officially named the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”, H.R. 1 is indeed a big bill, at over 1,000 pages long. The bill combines permanent extensions of the 2017 tax cuts with steep spending reductions in key safety-net programs like Medicaid, SNAP (food stamps), LIHEAP (energy assistance), student aid, and the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).

Flat tire? Trip to urgent care? Things happen. For many of our neighbors however, when that thing happens, something in their budget has to give. That's where Crisis Assistance Ministry gives hope. We provide emergency financial assistance for rent and utility costs when a family faces financial crisis.
