Mid-Cumberland Community Action Agency Wilson County

The Emergency program is funded through the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG). The Emergency Program is designed to provide assistance to a household facing a crisis situation due to an unexpected occurrence that has negatively impacted the households financial stability. Examples of such occurrences could be, but not limited to, reduction in household income, loss of employment, or an unexpected essential household expense. MCCAA provides assistance through a one- time payment of a past due essential utility bill or rent/ mortgage. In addition to providing the household with the monetary services, MCCAA also provides a Financial Education component with the Emergency program.
