If you are slightly over the income guidelines for the family size, we encourage you to contact the recruitment line. A staff person can complete a phone interview.
When calling the recruitment line, voicemail will pick up. Please leave the required information. A staff member will return the call as soon as possible. If you do not have a phone, please leave an address so an application can be sent out.
