How to apply for Forsyth County crisis and emergency assistance

Susan Pomp, eligibility supervisor for the Forsyth County Department of Social Services, walked through the application process: residents must submit an application, receive a follow-up interview with a county worker, and provide documentation to verify the crisis. “Once you do an application, a worker will call and do an interview with you,” Pomp said. “So during the application, we would ask for verification. So if you said your hours were cut, we will look at your pay stubs for the month prior.”
