Klamath & Lake Community Action Services (KLCAS) is a public non-profit 501(c)(3) agency. We seek and distribute State and Federal funding, which we allocate to local social-service providers throughout Klamath and Lake Counties.
Funding supports poverty-related programs such as home-energy assistance, emergency shelters, and affordable housing. In addition to providing funding and referrals for these programs, KLCAS offers direct services through:
- Energy Assistance, which provides assistance with energy bills.
- Family Support and Connections, which serves low-income families with children in the home.
- The Family Mentoring Program, which provides volunteer mentors to help families by being a positive role model & providing support.
- The Homeless Benefits Program, which strives to improve access to Social Security disability benefits for homeless and low-income disabled individuals by providing intensive representation in navigating the Social Security disability application process.
- The Homeownership Center provides a variety of services to assist individuals in reaching their goal of financial literacy and eventually homeownership.
- Rental Assistance Program assists low-income clients who are at risk of being evicted with rent. The case manager will also help connect clients with all available resources in Klamath County.
- The Representative Payee Services Program provides payee services to SSI/SSDI recipients who have been required by the Social Security Administration to have a payee or disabled veterans.
