How to apply for Bastrop County Community Resources — Emergency Aid Coordination
Bastrop County Commissioners Court — Community Resources; coordinates with CEAP nonprofit + AAACAP + county health department + faith-based partners for emergency rental, utility, and senior aid
Who it's for
Bastrop County operates a referral-and-coordination emergency aid model. The county does not run a single integrated direct-aid program at scale (appropriate for a smaller county); instead it coordinates with: (1) the CEAP nonprofit subrecipient for utility assistance (call 979-540-2987); (2) AAACAP for senior services (855-937-2372); (3) the Bastrop County CIHCP for healthcare (512-581-7170); (4) faith-based partners (Salvation Army, Catholic Charities of Central Texas, local churches). Dial 211 for general emergency aid referrals.
Bastrop operates a referral-coordination model. For small CAPCOG counties, the AAACAP ADRC is typically the most effective single point of contact for connecting seniors to available aid.
What you'll need
