The Community Services Program provides a broad spectrum of services for individuals whose household income is within the current federal poverty guideline and who have an energy crisis. These services range from outreach, case management, information and referral programs, assistance with utilities and a variety of educational workshops. Our primary goal is to assist individuals during crisis and to help them become self-sufficient.

Services include: Energy Assistance, CSBG assistance, case management, information and referrals, special projects for clothes, food, school supplies, box fans, electric heaters, etc.

Serving as the nation’s core program for delivering energy-efficiency services to low-income households, the Weatherization Assistance Program prioritizes service to the elderly, persons with disabilities, and households with children. Since its inception in 1976, more than seven million households have experienced energy efficiency, financial, health and safety gains as a result of weatherization measures. WAP serves every county in the nation through its network of state and local agencies. Weatherization Assistance Services are offered in the counties of Del Rio, Dimmit, Edwards, Kinney, La Salle, Maverick, Real, Uvalde, Val Verde and Zavala.
