Welcome

Community Assistance Programs provide emergency assistance through six Community Action Agencies (CAAs) located throughout the state. The Community Service Block Grant (CSBG) program provides emergency assistance to persons and families for food, housing, medicine, work and education via Community Service Block Grant Agencies.

The CSBG funding provides assistance to local communities through a network of CAAs for the reduction of poverty. Currently there are six CAAs in New Mexico. The agencies provide a variety of services, such as: Head Start, pre-school day care, adult day care, USDA programs, emergency food boxes, weatherization, home repair and rehabilitation, homeless prevention, housing, senior programs, migrant programs, emergency assistance, free tax preparation services and information and referral to other resources.
