Focus on Serving Those Hit Hardest by COVID-19
 
CAC has modified services in response to the coronavirus to focus on those struggling with income loss as a result of the pandemic. CAC is committed to providing food to families and individuals that need support and providing financial assistance to make sure that they stay in their homes. Financial assistance services are being conducted by phone to ensure people can get the help they need with rent. Other services have been revised or suspended until further notice.  We appreciate everyone's patience and willingness to help as we evaluate the situation and make changes as needed. Stay well everyone!
