State & City Resources
Davenport, Iowa: Disability Resources
On This Page
Davenport resources include Scott County emergency assistance, Milestones aging services and CitiBus paratransit. The Quad Cities cross state and county lines, so confirm the relevant jurisdiction instead of assuming one application covers every nearby community.
Scott County General Assistance
Scott County General Assistance serves adult county residents who meet income and resource rules and have emergency basic needs that cannot be met otherwise. Applicants must seek other available benefits. The page identifies categories such as rent, utilities and medical or dental needs. Ask how the rules apply to your situation and what documentation is required.
Milestones Aging Support
Milestones Area Agency On Aging has an administrative office in Davenport and includes Scott County in its service region. It provides information, options counseling, case management, nutrition and caregiver support. Explain the person’s needs and ask which program is suitable. A broad service listing does not establish individual eligibility or immediate availability.
CitiBus Approval and River Bend Reservations
Davenport CitiBus ADA & Paratransit explains that CitiBus administers paratransit while River Bend Transit operates it under contract. Riders must be approved before scheduling. Service has fixed-route-related boundaries and operating times. Complete the application through the stated route, then use the reservation contact after approval rather than treating an application as a ride booking.
Before You Contact a Program
- Confirm Scott County, Iowa residency for county assistance.
- For aging support, describe daily needs and caregiver availability.
- For transit, check both trip addresses and any cross-city connection.
- Keep the eligibility decision separate from individual trip reservations.
