Full Description:

Clayton County Community Services Authority, Inc. is committed to the amelioration of poverty and the conditions and circumstances of people in Clayton County and the surrounding areas. The agency advocates for the disenfranchised and provides for the delivery of essential services through structured programs which improves the quality of life, leads to self-sufficiency, and responsible community involvement among its citizens.

Assistance Services Include:
Head Start, employability services, emergency assistance, transportation, home weatherization, Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), and case management.

The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is a Federally-funded program that helps low-income households with their home energy bills.

LIHEAP can help you stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer. By doing so, you can reduce the risk of health and safety problems (such as illness, fire, or eviction).

The federal government does not provide energy assistance directly to the public. Instead, LIHEAP operates in the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Indian tribes or tribal organizations, and the U.S. territories.

*NOTE: The availability of LIHEAP assistance is not guaranteed. Often most of the Federal LIHEAP funds are spent during the winter.

The Community Support Component of the Agency provides emergency short term financial assistance along with case management services and resource referrals to families or individuals faced with crisis situations, i.e. evictions, foreclosures, utility disconnections and emergency food assistance to help families move towards self-sufficiency. Through Case Management, families or individuals are provided financial counseling in consumer education and budgetary management along with referrals to other support service agencies, including Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, Veterans Benefits and Unemployment Benefits.

Individuals and families are also provided employment counseling and referral services to training, educational and vocational rehabilitation training services that will enhance their abilities to become self-sufficient.

Tips For Prompt And Professional Assistance
1. Make an appointment - Always attempt to make an appointment. Oftentimes this will save you hours waiting in lines. When on the phone make sure you ask for the documentation needed in order to receive assistance.

2. Do not be late for your appointment - This tip should speak for itself.

3. Dress appropriately - If you want to be treated with respect, dress as appropriately as possible. We are not saying wear a suit. Just make sure you and your clothes are clean and non offensive. We have found that clients who dress in this manner have a better chance of receiving aid.

4. Bring all pre determined documentation - Bring all of the documents you were advised to bring from your appointment phone call. Without them, you will not receive aid.
