ACCSA Programs and Services

CSBG SELF SUFFICIENCY PROGRAM is designed to provide comprehensive services to families to include adequate employment, housing, education assistance, counseling, budget management, transportation and food assistance.  The program also provides information about, and referrals to other service organizations in the community. In October 2014 in collaboration with Eastlawn Baptist Church, the program implemented a Family Resource Closet designed to provide opportunities for families participating in the CSBG Self-Sufficiency Program to obtain employment and education supportive resources to ensure their sustainability.  The FRC will help increase a client’s self-esteem and give them confidence and support needed that will strengthen them on their way to becoming self-sufficient. ​

EMERGENCY FOOD ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (EFAP) is designed to reduce the number of families or individuals who suffer from the lack of food. Household experiencing emergency situations qualifies for emergency food assistance through EFAP. Families must apply for food stamps prior to receiving assistance to ensure their long-term need for food assistance is eliminated. Eligible households will receive emergency assistance including a three-day supply on non perishable food items. Special dietary foods are available upon request.
