Protect Our Communities, Restore Funding for CSBG and LIHEAP
Your Voice Champions Services Backed by Results and Proven Success
The federal funds at risk, Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) and Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), directly support life-changing services for children, families, and seniors in our community. These investments are more than just compassionate; they are smart, results-driven policies that reduce poverty, strengthen our local economy, and help our neighbors achieve greater independence.
Community Action programs are proven to lift families out of crisis and onto the path of self-sufficiency. By addressing urgent needs and helping people stabilize, find work, and become financially independent, we reduce the burden on public systems and increase the number of contributors to our economy. Eliminating or reducing these programs would not save money; it would cost more in the long run, undoing years of progress and leaving many without the support they need to thrive.
If you haven’t already, please contact your members of Congress and urge them to continue funding CSBG, LIHEAP, and the essential programs they make possible. GCAA has created an Action Center where you can easily make your voice heard. There are two options available on the Action Center page:
1. It only takes 3 – 5 minutes to complete a letter submission to your members of Congress.
2. Call your members of Congress. GCAA has prepared a phone script for your convenience, if needed.Â
