Community Services Block Grant (CSBG)

CSBG is the grant that keeps the Community Action Centers open.  WICAP operates the majority of its services from those centers.  We offer the following services to the low-income population in our communities:

Education

Emergency Assistance

Employment

Health

Housing

Individual Development Account

Money Management

Move The Mountain

Nutrition

Partnerships

Self-Sufficiency

 

Two new projects that we are involved with are:  Move the Mountain that will bring the community even closer to us.  We will be working with a few families to get them out of poverty.  In order to accomplish this we will need several community business and organizations to participate with the family.  It is very exciting to think about working together to better the lives of our low-income who want up and out.  The other project is the Individual Development Account in which families can build up their credit and accumulate money to buy a house, continue their education, or start up a small business.  Whatever they save will be matched until they have built up enough to reach their goal.
