Once you qualify for any assistance program (and you are not exploiting a loophole) you don't have to feel bad for using it. You are literally the target audience of the program.
Absolutely true.
Its also a bit eye opening to grow up thinking that you're, "Not rich, but not poor", and then realizing that, "Nope, I'm poor." Its a bit of a shock to the system.
Also, if you're paying taxes, you are literally helping to fund the program(s).
