Helping People. Changing Lives
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
At CPCA, we are dedicated to stepping up our efforts in addressing Affordable Housing by increasing the number of safe and affordable homes through homeowner rehabilitation projects and through obtaining and/or constructing new properties targeting low-income individuals and families. We are always striving to make a difference by helping individuals and families achieve self-sufficiency.
FOOD & NUTRITION SERVICES
CPCA is the lead agency for seven (7) food pantries operated in Centre County and nine (9) in Clearfield County, providing oversight for State Food Purchase Program (SFPP) dollars and The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) funding. Food Pantry services provide emergency and supplemental food and food stamp application assistance. Income eligibility guidelines for the state or federal food program are 185% of poverty and below.
This program is operated in accordance with the Federal civil rights law and United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) civil rights regulations and policies, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, age, or reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity in any program or activity conducted or funded by USDA.
The Medical Assistance Transportation Program, also known as MATP, provides non-emergent transportation services to medical appointments for Medical Assistance recipients who do not have transportation available to them. The individual’s county of residence will provide the type of transportation that is the least expensive while still meeting their needs.

“For so long as man has lived on this earth, poverty has been his curse. On every continent in every age men have sought escape from poverty’s oppression. Today, for the first time in all the history of the human race, a great nation is able to make and is willing to make a commitment to eradicate poverty among its people.”
Remarks upon signing the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964.
Lyndon B. Johnson
