How to apply for Jeff Davis County Emergency Aid — Referral Coordination
Jeff Davis County Commissioners Court — Community Services; relies on referral coordination with Rio Grande AAA, TDHCA CEAP subrecipient, regional nonprofits, and faith-based partners
Who it's for
Jeff Davis County (~2K) operates a minimal direct emergency aid program — appropriate for the small population and county budget. Emergency aid is delivered through referral coordination with: (1) Rio Grande AAA for senior services (915-533-0998); (2) the TDHCA-coordinated CEAP subrecipient for utility assistance (call TDHCA 800-525-0657); (3) the local Fort Davis senior center as the practical community hub; (4) regional nonprofits and faith-based partners (Catholic Charities of West Texas, Salvation Army Big Spring, churches). Dial 211 for general emergency aid referrals. Jeff Davis's remoteness means many emergency situations require multi-agency coordination across El Paso, Midland/Odessa, and Alpine.
Jeff Davis's extreme remoteness and small population mean direct county emergency aid is minimal. Rio Grande AAA is the most effective single point of contact for connecting Jeff Davis seniors to available aid.
