The flexible basket, as part of which the assistance is provided through the departments of social services in the municipalities, enables provision of financial assistance for the benefit of a wide range of needs, for up to 10,500 NIS per person a year. Those needs include: Purchase of household equipment and furniture, temporary assistance in rent, home repairs, legal aid, per diem and clothing expenditure, medical expenses, assistance in funding educational and vocational training programs, participation in travel expenses. This program is funded at 2.2 million NIS a year.

As part of joint venture between the MWSA and the Friendship Fund, a flexible financial basket is offered to groups that are at risk or struggling, including those in prostitution. The program is budgeted at 2.2 million NIS

In 2022, the MOH issued a directive that persons with no legal status in Israel, who are in the cycle of prostitution, are also entitled to flexible financial aid and complementary material assistance and set out a simple and fast procedure for dealing with these requests.
