Can You Help Families Facing Evictions?
Can you help? CAC is still receiving a high volume of requests for rent assistance due to COVID related job losses. CAC is running low on Emergency Assistance funds. Every dollar you donate goes to directly to help families and individuals pay rent and avoid homelessness.

COVID Relief Helps Residents Bridge the Gap
The COVID-19 economic crisis has threatened people from all walks of life with homelessness as livelihoods have suddenly been cut off. Since the crisis began CAC has been receiving 4 times as many requests for assistance than before COVID. CAC is working to provide rent assistance to help as many of our neighbors as possible stay in their homes. In 2020 CAC provided more than $2 million in rent assistance!
