US Assistance Guide is a free resource that explains U.S. assistance programs in plain English. We cover housing help, food assistance, health coverage, help with bills, income support, and emergency resources.
Why we started this site
Government programs can be confusing. Rules change, websites are hard to navigate, and many people who qualify for help never apply because they don’t know where to start. Our goal is to make that first step easier.
What we do
- Explain how programs work in simple, everyday language
- Point you to the official agency websites where you can apply
- Share practical tips to help you avoid common mistakes and scams
What we don’t do
US Assistance Guide is an independent informational website. We are not a government agency, and we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to HUD, USDA, HHS, the Social Security Administration, FEMA, or any other federal, state, or local government office. We do not process applications, decide eligibility, or collect personal information for any program. We will never ask you for money to apply for benefits.
