When people face emergency financial situations, Catholic Charities of North Louisiana wants to offer a helping hand. We do this in two ways; first, by offering financial assistance with rent or utility bills, and second, by providing financial education and coaching to help people better prepare for life’s unexpected emergencies.

Those who seek Emergency Assistance for rent or utility payments from Catholic Charities are required to attend one session of Money School in order to become eligible for assistance. A follow-up appointment will be held to verify a client’s eligibility for funding. 

Please call to reserve your spot for Money School. Reservations are accepted beginning on Mondays at 8:30 a.m. until the class is full. 
Shreveport: 318-865-0200

In the Shreveport office, we are able to assist a household one time in a 24-month period. In Monroe and Lake Providence, assistance can be provided one time per 12 month period.
