Single Stop

Quick and Easy Benefits Screener

In about 15 minutes, you can complete a short, confidential screening to see if you qualify for a wide range of federal, state, and local programs. This includes assistance for:

• Food and nutrition (like SNAP)
• Childcare support
• Health insurance (like Medicaid)
• Tax preparation
• Housing and utility programs

Once you’ve finished your screening, staff from the Center for Student Well-Being will follow up to discuss your results and assist you in taking the next steps to apply for benefits.

Community Resource Map for Local Support

Single Stop also features an interactive Community Resource Map that lists organizations and services available across the Finger Lakes region. Use the map to find:

• Local food pantries
• Mental health and counseling services
• Housing and financial support agencies
• Other community-based programs

This map makes it easy to see what help is available near where you live, work, or go to school.
