Designed to Help Local Families
MVCAA’s programs and services are designed to complement numerous other resources available to low income families. We are focused on helping people break the cycle of poverty and find opportunities through education and training. From accessing quality child care to learning new life skills to preparing for a job interview, MVCAA supports local families with programs and services to address all areas of their lives.
Information and Assistance
Your First Visit
When a customer visits a MVCAA Family Resource Center, he or she will meet with an Community Outreach Specialist. The customer participates in a discussion about their current situation. This information assists the agency in making recommendations for services that may address the family’s needs. The Community Outreach Specialist will refer the customer for other MVCAA services, as well as community-based services for which the family may qualify.
Eligibility
There are eligibility requirements for the programs that MVCAA administers. This requires the agency to collect information to verify and document certain eligibility criteria.
Each program also requires very specific documentation. For more information contact the Community Outreach Specialist at your local Family Resource Center.
Crisis Intervention
Many people living in low-income situations face a crisis everyday as they simply work to do the best they can, sometimes sacrificing necessities to make ends meet. At MVCAA, we have access to local, state and national resources to help most situations. A Community Outreach Specialist can complete an assessment of an individual’s or family’s situation to determine what resources and support would benefit them most. These may include energy assistance, rental assistance, career development, family support development and much more.
For more information contact the Community Outreach Specialist at your local Family Resource Center.
