Full Description:

Hours: Mondays through Fridays: 8:30am - 4:30pm.

Emergency Homeless Program
The CAC coordinator in this program focuses on the customers' immediate needs - actual or impending homelessness. The first month's rent or eviction is paid, and then attention is turned to other ways to solve the deeper problems. This is accomplished by networking with other programs and agencies, such as the CAC's job training program.
Meanwhile, the coordinator attempts to locate long-term affordable housing through a constantly updated list of currently available homes. A good working relationship has been established with several area landlords, who are willing to work with CAC customers to assure shelter is provided.
The coordinator follows through with the customers, to assure continuity of all services, and assist in any way possible with the entire family. These services can include a wide array, such as utility assistance, health checks, job search, and much more.

Tips For Prompt And Professional Assistance
1. Make an appointment - Always attempt to make an appointment. Oftentimes this will save you hours waiting in lines. When on the phone make sure you ask for the documentation needed in order to receive assistance.

2. Do not be late for your appointment - This tip should speak for itself.

3. Dress appropriately - If you want to be treated with respect, dress as appropriately as possible. We are not saying wear a suit. Just make sure you and your clothes are clean and non offensive. We have found that clients who dress in this manner have a better chance of receiving aid.

4. Bring all pre determined documentation - Bring all of the documents you were advised to bring from your appointment phone call. Without them, you will not receive aid.
