Community Support Program (CSP)
The CSP Program is dedicated to empowering individuals and families by addressing immediate needs and fostering long-term stability. Our services include temporary financial support to help families cover essential expenses such as food, housing, utilities, and clothing. Additionally, we provide financial assistance for ESL classes, RMV fees, and tuition costs for education and job training programs.
​
Our multilingual program staff excels in care coordination, ensuring that individuals and families connect with culturally appropriate services. Whenever possible, we also offer emergency financial assistance to households facing urgent challenges.
​
Our team collaborates with community partners to identify gaps in available services, providing:
​
-
Temporary financial support for basic needs.
-
Financial aid for educational and job training programs.
-
Support for accessing resources such as housing, food banks, and healthcare services.
-
​Through these efforts, we play a pivotal role in connecting vulnerable populations to essential services and expanding access to culturally and linguistically appropriate care.
Reach out to us if you would like to inquire about CSP or are seeking assistance.
Wellness Support Groups
CVWU facilitates several wellness-based support groups in the top three languages most widely spoken by regional immigrant populations: Haitian Creole, Cape Verdean Creole, and Spanish. These support groups act as safe spaces for individuals to talk and connect with one another. With these support groups, CVWU is effectively able to provide a safe environment to those seeking support escaping from an abusive or potentially violent situation. Groups are offered to both men and women.
Reach out to us for more information on group location and times.
