Help Save Vital Programs for Your Neighbors In Need!
Both the Obama Administration and the House Appropriations Committee have proposed devastating cuts to Community Services Block Grants (CSBG), the central source of funding for Community Action Agencies, including North Shore Community Action Programs.
These cuts would force more than 1,000 Community Action Agencies to slash vital services for local families in need or even to shut their doors.
For 45 years, North Shore residents who are out of work or who are working but not making enough to make ends meet have turned to our community action agency, North Shore Community Action Programs, for help getting back on their feet. In 2010 alone, the agency served 13,585 of the North Shore’s most economically vulnerable residents, including
- 4,464 Peabody residents;
- 4,823 Salem residents;
- 2,200 Beverly residents;
- 811 Danvers residents; and
- 1,287 residents of other North Shore communities
Locally and nationwide, more than 20 million people in need turn to community action agencies each year for help avoiding or escaping homelessness, for fuel assistance to help keep the heat on, for job training and education programs that help them find and keep good paying jobs, and for a variety of other services that help them get back on their feet.
President Obama and Congress need to hear from people in communities across America. We need to let our national leaders know that Community Action is important!
