General Assistance

General Assistance has developed into a program that makes recipients more accountable and encourages self-reliance. A person applying for this assistance is required to utilize all available resources, such as:

• Food Stamps
• Fuel Assistance
• Medicaid
• Subsidized Daycare
• TANF

Service Providers

With overall maximum levels of aid being quite low, it is critical to network with local and area resources to access all available assistance. Brunswick is fortunate to have a variety of dedicated service providers who work together to offer services to Brunswick residents, including:

• Brunswick Community Services
• Local Clergy
• Mental Health Professionals
• Police Personnel
• School Personnel
• Senior Citizen Representatives

Assistance is also available upon completion of Maine State Property Tax and Rent Refund forms. This program includes the Low Cost Elderly Drug Card. Forms are available at the Town Office.
