Helping People in Need with Care and Compassion - A City of Palmdale Program

A PRACTICAL AND CARING APPROACH TO SERVING PEOPLE IN NEED

South Antelope Valley Emergency Services (SAVES) provides a practical and caring approach to serving people in need. The SAVES program was started 21 years ago to offer assistance to individuals and families who are experiencing a temporary emergency situation.

WHO RECEIVES ASSISTANCE?

Clients are interviewed to determine whether they meet the federal guidelines to qualify for services. To qualify a person must be experiencing circumstances that fall within program guidelines. These circumstances might include

  • Recent job loss or substantial cut in salary
  • Late-arriving aid check
  • Awaiting approval of benefits
  • Benefits exhausted or cut off
  • Awaiting unemployment or state disability payments or other form of financial assistance, such as Workers' Compensation or Social Security benefits.

Clients must present proof of their circumstances or show proof of income status to qualify. CalWorks or general relief clients must have a referral.

HOW TO GET ASSISTANCE

SAVES is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 5 pm and is closed from noon to 1 pm for lunch.

Call 661-267-5191 during business hours. A 24-hour emergency phone service is also available after business hours. Clients may leave a message with their name and telephone number.
