How Can We Help?

Area IV Agency on Aging and Community Action Programs, Inc. is committed to providing services to our communities’ most vulnerable individuals.  We offer services that will address individual needs and create equal opportunities for those we serve. All services are provided without regard to race, color, age, religion, sex, disability, national origin, ancestry, or status as a veteran.

Community Involvement

We work with our communities to provide affordable housing opportunities, and we provide program funding to community organizations that provide valuable services which address education, childcare, housing and job training.

Helping Those in Need

We offer a variety of services to low-income individuals that need a hand-up. These services range from utility payment assistance, money management, HUD vouchers, small business loans, and a savings match program.

Assisting the Elderly and Disabled

Area IV Agency is proud to coordinate and monitor state and/or federally funded services for the elderly and disabled in the community setting of their choice. Our information and referral specialists are available to answer questions about services, provide needed resources, and counsel individuals about Medicare plans.

What We Do?
