Helping People.

CHANGING LIVES.

CALC’s Self-Sufficiency/Emergency Services program offers a variety of tools to help families and individuals recover from economic, medical and other setbacks. One tool is to provide emergency financial assistance, including help with utilities, rent, damage deposits, mortgage payments, transportation and essential support/medical services. Another tool is to provide families with information about the extent of services available in the county and to refer families and individuals to providers that can best serve them. In another effort to assist people, CALC offers group workshops on money management, communication skills, budgeting and career planning to more than 600 individuals annually. Self-reliance workshops are free and open to the public and are combined with one-on-one assistance from CALC case managers.
