Community Action Agency Pima County assistance programs.

One of the leading human and social service organizations in Pima County is the local not for profit Community Action Agency. They work with partners to administer many programs, including government grants for bills, health care and more for low income families and the larger community. While most of the financial aid they offer is in the form of referrals to local Emergency Services Network Providers, they are still one option to call when struggling.

Financial assistance from the Pima County Community Action Agency

Rent help, including mortgage assistance and eviction prevention is available from Pima County Community Action Agency and its network providers. Financial assistance, or maybe a loan, will be provided to income qualified residents of the county who are in need of short term cash assistance. The funds are used to help pay for rent, mortgage, or security deposits for the homeless. The aid is intended to stop both foreclosures and evictions in Pima County, and rehouse the homeless.

Health care needs can be met, in partnership with other non-profits, community clinics, and medical providers. This can include prescription medications and other supplies. Items may also be available for the uninsured in Pima County Arizona as well. Call one of the following community action agency partner groups.

  • l Rio Health Center only supports patients of that facility. Location is 839 West Congress, Tucson, AZ 85745, 520.792.9890

Financial support may be offered to help people obtain employment.

Related support services may be bus passes, personal hygiene items, gasoline, and free food vouchers.

 

 

 

This is strictly focused on helping people either find or secure employment in Arizona. Sometimes the funds need to be repaid, so the aid is in the form of a loan. Pima County Community Action Agency can provide referrals or suggestions, and dial 520.624.3479.

As part of the employment services, many low income households need access to free or affordable internet service, whether cable or Wi-Fi. The community action agency can refer Pima County families to government or corporate programs, and the internet can be for working, school, job training or even students/kids in school. Read more and find free internet service for low-income families.

Community Action Agency food assistance is available in partnership with local and rural nonprofit agencies or pantries. The non-profit, and these groups, work to offer groceries, free food boxes, congregate/home delivered meals, and lists of Tucson and county based food pantries.

Funds to help pay utility bills, home repairs, or energy conservation measures

Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program – LIHEAP is one of the primary resources for both cooling and heating bills. Benefits from LIHEAP can be used to pay for the current or a past month’s natural gas or electric bill. There may even be grants to pay for late fees, deposits and reconnect fees. U.S. Department of Health and Human Service as well as the state of Arizona pay for this program across Pima County. Try calling the Tucson Urban League at 520.791.9522 for information on LIHEAP or other utility expense assistance.

In limited cases, water payment assistance is provided. This will be a onetime financial assistance program only and is run in partnership with the City of Tucson Environmental Services. It is only available for those customers of Tucson Water only. 520.243.6770
