Information & Referral

An important part of what CRDC does everyday is connect people with the services and information they need.

Limited Services

We have Emergency CSBG funds that can help with emergencies up to $300.00. This could be anything from needing help replacing a blown out tire to help replacing a window that was broken. These services are only available for emergencies. This funding is limited and you can apply in all 8 counties.

Utility Assistance

This is a program that is designed to help people struggling to pay their utility bills. It usually starts in January and runs through March and again in July and runs until the program runs out of funding. This program assists with both regular bills and disconnect notices. All eight counties are open five days a week.

Housing Department

Safe and affordable housing is essential to building healthy families and communities. CRDC’s Housing Program plays a leading role in advocating for, developing, and managing affordable housing for low- and moderate income families and individuals in our region.
