HOUSING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
Housing Assistance and Services
Community Action’s Housing Assistance and Services program is a one-stop resource for assistance on housing, emergency assistance, or other needs that disrupt independent living. The Agency’s counselors help customers set goals and budgets, prevent foreclosures and evictions, repair credit, and offer workshops to help plan for a first-time home purchase.
Comprehensive case management helps households create short and long-term goals, including budgeting, banking, credit repair, employment, and home ownership.
Community Action offers two-hour financial literacy workshops to help customers make smart decisions with their money. The Agency partners with a local bank, utilizing trained instructors to assist with the workshops.
