Carroll County assistance programs
If you are looking for help with bills, rent, access to social service programs, advice, or information on government programs, contact the local Carroll County Community Action for Improvement, Inc. at (706) 884-2651. They offer low income and other numerous services and resources.
Rent and housing assistance - The federal government created the Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP) from stimulus funds. The primary reason for the program is to provide homelessness prevention assistance to households who would otherwise become homeless, be evicted from their home or apartments. While the HPRP can help someone who is now homeless as the result of a foreclosure, it does not provide money for paying a mortgage.
Cash grants and funds are available to families and individuals who are facing eviction, provide funds for paying rent for up to 18 months, the program can help those who have been evicted, people who are currently homeless, families who need assistance with utility bills and deposits to prevent eviction. It can even provide money for people to help them relocate to rental housing. These individuals may qualify for the Carroll County Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program.
Case Management Program - Counselors and professionals will work closely with low income and elderly individuals and families through the Community Services Block Grant Program. The agency also partners with other charities and non-profits, and work in collaboration to provide assistance. Help can be provided in obtaining Social Security, Rent Assistance, Medicare, Health Care Programs, Public Assistance, Food Stamps, Emergency Assistance, and information on Mortgage Programs.
