At the same time, we recognise that the elderly, or those with a permanent disability, may need longer-term help.
The NAU can assist those that qualify with a variety of basic living expenses:

Helping the vulnerable and disadvantaged to lead healthy and safe lives
The Needs Assessment Unit
The Needs Assessment Unit is the Cayman Islands Government's vehicle to deliver financial assistance to qualifying Caymanians who are unable to support themselves or their families. We care about the needs of Caymanians. Our team works hard to ensure that we listen to and provide guidance to those in need.
We provide qualified Caymanians with the financial assistance they need to meet their basic needs and live a healthy, safe and independent life. We collaborate with the Education Department, Health Services and other agencies to provide personalised solutions for our clients.
