CSRA EOC is a privately funded organization, although it does receive both state and federal funding through grants and contracts. Her organization has been providing additional assistance through the acquisition of federal stimulus money.
Ms. Lewis highlighted some of the programs her organization provides, such as TEFAP, which is an emergency food assistance program. She also talked about the Senior Citizen Center in Burke County which provides on-site meals, home delivered meals, nutrition education and recreation education. Ms. Lewis also talked about HOPE (Home Ownership & Education,) a program that provides education relative to the various aspects of home ownership to include foreclosure prevention counseling. She also shared about The Way Home IDA Program, which is a matched savings program for first-time homebuyers. Eligible participants can earn up to $20,000 towards down payment and closing costs. Federal stimulus funds have been made available for this and other programs her organization administers.
