DCAid Screening Tool

The DCAid Service Portal is an online screening tool designed to help you quickly determine which assistance programs you may be eligible for and guide you through the application process. Screening is simple and only takes 1-2 minutes. 

DCAid evaluates eligibility for programs that provide:

• Rental assistance

• Homelessness prevention

• Utility assistance

• Weatherization services

• Lead remediation

1. Answer a Few Questions: The screening process collects basic information to match you with programs that suit your needs.
2. Receive a Customized List: Based on your answers, you’ll get a tailored list of programs and services designed to assist with your situation.
3. Take the Next Steps: The tool will guide you on where and how to apply for the suggested programs.

DCAid’s results are based solely on the information you provide during the screening. You’ll need to contact each program directly to apply and submit household income and expenses documentation. If your circumstances change—such as exhausting unemployment benefits or experiencing a shift in income—you can re-screen to check eligibility for services, you may not have qualified for previously.
