Community Services Amesbury
CAI Community Services works with clients to solve problems
and access resources to help the client and the client's family become
self-sufficient. Assistance is also provided to low-income families with budget
planning and landlord/tenant concerns.
Through an interview process client eligibility is determined. Each
program has specific requirements for eligibility and is subject to funding
and resource availability. Contact the Amesbury office
for more information.
The Amesbury office provides support programs for residents of Amesbury,
Merrimac, Newburyport, Newbury, West Newbury, Rowley, and Salisbury.
Food Pantry
Donations to our food pantry are provided by local churches, the Boy Scouts,
the Lion's Club, and local residents, an annual U. S. Postal Service drive,
and a yearly Project Bread grant. Residents of Amesbury and Merrimac are
eligible to use the food pantry; residents of other towns may use the pantry
on an emergency basis.
Clothing Bank
The Amesbury office provides a clothing bank through the generous
donations of local residents.
Women, Infants and Children (WIC)
The Northern
Essex WIC program has office hours in Amesbury.
Heating Assistance
The Heating
Assistance program has office hours in Amesbury.
Homeless Aid
Through the generosity of local churches, organizations, and private
donations, a limited amount of funds are available for Amesbury and Merrimac
residents who are in danger of becoming homeless or are facing a utility
shutoff. Occasionally funds are available to residents of towns other than
Amesbury and Merrimac.
Emergency Rent & Utility
In 2006 $13,380 worth of EFSP/FEMA funds provided clients an opportunity to
meet an immediate need concerning safe housing. There are many reasons
residents face eviction, homelessness, or loss of utility services. A
prospective recipient of EFSP funds must demonstrate the ability to meet
living expenses on her or his own following EFSP assistance. The EFSP funds
allow Community Services staff to assist local residents in need.
