Recommended next steps

  • Clarify what “khkcsi” means so searches can target the correct benefit or service category.
  • Start with The Gloria Center because it is a local multi-agency navigation hub in The Dalles.
  • Prepare ID, proof of address, household income, lease or utility bills, and benefit notices before contacting programs.
  • Apply or screen through Oregon’s ONE benefit system for food, medical, cash, and child care support.
  • If housing or shelter is involved, contact MCCAC before applying elsewhere to avoid duplicate steps.
  • If the person needing help is a youth or young adult, contact The Next Door Inc. or YES first.
  • If disability-related support is needed, ask 211info or ODHS about the local developmental disabilities program.
  • If refugee status applies, use the ODHS Refugee Services page rather than general cash assistance first.
  • For emergency basic needs, ask The Salvation Army The Dalles Corps what assistance is currently offered.
  • Keep a call log with date, agency, staff name, documents requested, and next deadline.
