Summit Assistance is a program made possible through charitable donations offering emergency help to people of Summit County.  In recent years, a number of people who have jobs in our towns, arrive before they are able to begin earning money and are caught without the means to secure housing.  In some cases, they do not have the money for a security deposit or first month's rent. St. John's is partnering with the Family and Intercultural Resource Center and FirstBank to provide no-interest loans for these housing needs.
