Employment, Education and Crisis Prevention Services
Community Action Agencies provide services to bring people out of poverty. Services are provided to meet your individual needs such as employment, housing and crisis prevention. These agencies are able to provide information and referrals to other helpful resources to assist you.
Your total household income must be at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty level. The income level may change in the coming months because of the federal recovery funds coming to North Carolina. Each local agency will inform you of any additional eligibility requirements. Check back often.
