Frequently Asked Questions

What if you don’t have food or food stamps?

  • The DTA should give you emergency food stamps within seven days if you are homeless and have no money for food. Some offices will give you emergency food stamps within two days.
  • Some DTA offices may give you food if they have it available. Ask your caseworker about getting food if you have no food stamps or money.
