Testimonials

“The SSVF program and staff at Community Action Agency have been very helpful to me during a difficult time in my life. They found a place for me to stay while we looked for permanent housing, they helped me get food when I needed it, and they even helped get tires for my car so I can have safe and reliable transportation. Thanks to the SSVF program, I feel like I’m starting to get back on my feet again. I highly recommend this program!”
