How to apply for Hays County Community Resources — Emergency Aid Coordination
Hays County Commissioners Court — Community Resources; coordinates with CAICT, AAACAP, Hays County Health Department, and faith-based partners (Salvation Army San Marcos, Catholic Charities of Central Texas, Hays County Food Bank) for emergency aid
Who it's for
Hays County's emergency aid framework operates as a coordination model — CAICT for CEAP utility, AAACAP for senior services, Hays County Health Department for CIHCP, plus referrals to United Way of Hays County (unitedwayhaysco.org), Salvation Army San Marcos, Catholic Charities of Central Texas, Hays County Food Bank, and faith-based partners. The county does not operate a single integrated emergency aid program at scale. Dial 211 for general referral; call the Hays County Health Department at 512-393-5520 for CIHCP intake; call CAICT at 512-392-1161 for utility assistance; call AAACAP at 855-937-2372 for senior services.
Hays operates a referral-coordination model. United Way of Hays County is a meaningful coordination hub.
