Community Services

The Community Services department empowers low-income individuals and families to become economically stable by providing emergency financial assistance and case management services.

Emergency services may include one-time assistance in the form of rental or utility assistance payments.

The Case Management program empowers individuals and families to meet their educational and employment goals to obtain economic stability by transitioning them out of poverty. Our case managers complete a detailed household assessment to ensure the best support services are provided. Eligible individuals receive a combination of financial assistance and supportive services to meet their goals.
