About Using This Guide
Our intention with our resource guides is to increase public access in the New Orleans area to services that
are free or low-cost. Most of our listings are for locations in Orleans & Jefferson Parishes. Our staff &
volunteers check the information for all of the listed services for accuracy every 2-6 months. Most agencies
that state they have a sliding scale require proof of income (i.e. check stubs, W2 forms, letter from person
supporting you and their check stub, etc.). Usually they will require an ID and/or a utility bill to verify your
address. If you have a question about costs, services or eligibility, call ahead.
