How to apply for Bandera County Emergency Aid — Referral Coordination

Bandera County Commissioners Court; relies on referral coordination with CCSCT (CEAP utility), AACOG Alamo Area AAA (senior services), Bandera County CIHCP, and regional nonprofits

Who it's for

Bandera County operates a referral-and-coordination emergency aid framework. Direct county-administered aid is limited; emergency needs are addressed through: (1) CCSCT for CEAP utility assistance (830-379-9415); (2) AACOG Alamo Area AAA for senior services (866-231-4922); (3) Bandera County CIHCP for healthcare (830-796-3786); (4) faith-based partners (Catholic Charities of San Antonio archdiocese, Salvation Army, churches). Dial 211 for general emergency aid referrals.

Bandera's referral-coordination model is standard for smaller AACOG-region counties.
