We help those who are struggling to provide the basic needs for themselves and/or their families through the support of the NYS Department of State (DOS) Community Service Block Grant (CSBG). We also educate through our Head Start & Early Head Start Programs which are federally funded through the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and lastly, provide energy conservation through our Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) funded by NYS Home & Community Renewal (HCR) & EmPower Programs funded by NYSERDA to those who qualify. We do more than just offer one-time assistance. We connect with families over an extended period of time — working to offer educational and goal-setting opportunities to help individuals and families achieve major life changes.
Ulster County Community Action Committee, Inc (UCCAC, dba Community Action) is not alone in our work and is currently one of nearly 1100 Community Action Agencies across the United States and one of 48 in New York States 62 counties. Each Community Action Agency is a grassroots organization designed to meet the ever-changing needs of the local population. We mobilize resources and devise solutions that unlock opportunities for millions of low-income families.
