Examples of such <br /> purchases may include, but are not limited to shelter, food, clothing, medical <br /> care, transportation, or other basic needs. <br /> C. Flex Funds shall not be paid directly to the individual/household receiving <br /> - emergency assistance or used for the purchase of alcohol, tobacco, vaping <br /> products, or marijuana products.
