Equity, Compassion, Collaboration, Community, Respect

Our mission is to build a better future for our community through partnership and equity-centered programs that prevent and eliminate poverty and houselessness.

 

Welcome, neighbor.

  • Energy and Utility Assistance

    We offer a variety of energy and utility assistance programs designed to assist families who have low or no incomes with utility and or heating options as well as serving houseless populations with propane assistance.

  • Rent Assistance and Eviction Prevention

    MCCAC’s Eviction Prevention and Rent Assistance Programs work to help households who are facing an eviction notice and/or who are at risk of losing their housing because they’re behind on rent.

  • Houseless Assistance

    MCCAC houseless programs include assistance with shelter as well as street outreach services and time-limited financial assistance for eligible individuals and families. Assistance can vary depending on if there is sufficient funding or space available in any of these programs to help address your current houseless situation.
