Financial Assistance

eviction noticeThe Financial Services Program focuses on helping participants acquire and improve the skills they need to increase their financial security. We provide assistance for individuals experiencing a short-term financial crisis and for those interested in improving their financial literacy and money-management skills.

Housing Support

CAC has limited funds to help those who need financial assistance due to a housing crisis. After talking to an Intake worker, individuals may be eligible for financial assistance. How to get housing help from CAC?

  • Call or visit CAC to complete a Housing Intake.  During that time, the Intake Worker will take your information and describe the programs.  You will be referred to any programs based on eligibility.
  • CAC will provide information and referral to other community programs for anyone seeking help.
  • Most adults who are helped will receive budget counseling.
  • CAC can help with mediation and advocacy between landlords and tenants

 To learn more about CAC’s intake process for individuals applying for financial assistance to secure or retain housing, click Financial Assistance to Secure or Retain Housing.

Telephone Assistance

We have programs to assist with getting a new telephone installed or to help with past-due phone bills (landlines only). We also provide financial assistance and budget counseling to help households maintain or establish internet and phone service in a time of financial stress.

To find out if you are eligible, and to get referrals to other programs which might also be helpful, call (608) 246-4730 ext. 230.
