Unexpected financial hardships can make it difficult for individuals and families to afford basic necessities. When funding is available, ICAP may be able to assist eligible households with emergency clothing and household item needs.
Eligible households residing outside the city of Sioux Falls may receive vouchers to participating thrift stores to obtain essential clothing items for themselves and their family members.
Household item vouchers may be available to eligible households in all counties served by ICAP. Assistance may help families obtain essential household items needed to maintain a safe and stable living environment.
Emergency Clothing and Household Assistance is only available when funding is available. Assistance is dependent upon available program funding and resources and cannot be guaranteed. Available assistance may vary by county and funding source.
Applications may be completed:
• Through the ICAP KIOSK: https://www.interlakescap.com/custom/client-information
• In person at your local ICAP office by calling ahead to schedule an appointment.
To determine eligibility, applicants must provide:
• A valid photo ID (if available)
• Social Security cards for all household members
• Verification of all household income received during the previous month, including but not limited to:
o Wages or pay stubs
o Child support
o Social Security benefits
o Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
o Unemployment benefits

o Any other sources of household income
Additional documentation may be requested depending on the type of assistance being sought.
Individuals and families seeking Emergency Clothing or Household Assistance should contact their local ICAP office to verify funding availability, discuss program eligibility, and schedule an appointment with a Community Coordinator.
For the fastest service, applicants are encouraged to complete an application through the ICAP KIOSK before their appointment.
