CACS works collaboratively with other service providers, faith based organizations, local businesses and other non-profit organizations to address unmet needs in the community. Close collaboration with other service providers maximizes resources and avoids unnecessary duplication of services. What other programs similar to your program are operating in the County? DHS provides assistance with utility shuts-offs as well as, the Salvation Army and St. Vincent DePaul. Direct payment assistance provided through Capital Area Community Services requires participation in an Energy Education workshop prior to payment to help individuals reduce their energy consumption which in turn leads to less dependency on organizations.
