Hill Country Community Action Assistance
As part of the CARES Act, the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) was awarded $1B for emergency disaster relief related to the COVID-19 pandemic. HCCAA will receive a portion of those funds dedicated to helping families that have been affected by COVID-19 restrictions including job loss, decreased work hours/pay, and shelter in place restrictions. Many businesses are suffering which has resulted in mass layoffs to sustain through this time. If you or someone you know has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, we are here to help. |
We are currently providing assistance in the areas of Rent/Mortgage Assistance, Utility Assistance, Internet, Food Cards, Transportation, Childcare Expenses, and Medical/Prescription expenses.
Eligibility Requirements
To be eligible for COVID-19 Disaster Relief funding, the household must have been impacted by COVID-19 through loss of job, decreased pay/hours, or shelter in place restrictions, and meet the income requirements of the program.
Effective March 27th, 2020, eligibility for Emergency Disaster Relief is below 200% of Federal Poverty Income Guidelines.
