CRC of Teton Valley seeks $20k from Teton County for FY27 crisis aid

Teton County is reviewing a FY2027 Health & Human Services funding request from the Community Resource Center of Teton Valley (CRCTV), which is seeking $20,000—all from the county, none from the Town of Jackson—according to a new staff report: Community Resource Center of Teton Valley Funding Request Staff Report.

CRCTV’s application breaks the ask into line items that add up to $20,000, led by $10,000 for “Crisis Services” (rent, utilities, transportation, and other “vital expenses”), plus smaller amounts for utilities stability, transportation support, and basic-needs supports (food, health, legal, dental, employment). The organization says it provided over $60,000 in emergency financial aid in 2025 through its “Quality of Life” funds and also runs no-questions-asked programs like food rescue, firewood, and a home-goods pantry.

What’s notable for Teton County taxpayers: CRCTV is based in Driggs and primarily serves Teton Valley, but it argues there’s a direct cross-pass workforce connection. The report says 12% of the 252 unique households served in 2025 either worked in Teton County, WY or had a spouse/partner who did. For that subset, CRCTV reports $9,502 in emergency assistance distributed on behalf of Teton County workers last year—often tied to housing help (65% of those clients) and transportation-related costs (35%).
