How to apply for CSBG Emergency Assistance (Cameron Community Action Agency) — Cameron Parish in Louisiana
Cameron Community Action Agency (run by Cameron Council On Aging, 965 Hwy 384, Grand Lake)
Who it's for
The Cameron Community Action Agency helps low-income households in Cameron Parish with groceries, rent, or utilities, using Community Services Block Grant funds. The CSBG emergency program pays the utility company for people who have a disconnect notice or cannot get utilities turned on. Payment goes straight to the company, not to you. Call 337-905-6000 and press 4 for emergency assistance.
Help depends on available funds, and the agency decides after an application. The income limits are monthly on the agency's page ($2,265 for 1 person up to $6,198 for 6); households larger than 6 are shown against the 6-person limit here. For heating and cooling bill help, see the LIHEAP program (la.cameron.liheap) run by the same office.
People who qualify for one senior program often qualify for others. See everything you may qualify for — free, no SSN, about five minutes.
