CSBG COVID-19 CARES Act Coaching Program

This program combines coaching with financial assistance while addressing the removal of barriers. Our focus is on individuals and households that have been impacted by COVID-19. We understand that this can look different for many, so here are some ways that people may have been impacted:  having been laid off due to employee furloughs, reduction in hours, schools moving to virtual learning, loss of income due to diagnosis of COVID, caregiver for someone affected with COVID, and childcare barriers to list a few.

A few of the requirements for the program are as follows:  

  • Applicants must have exhausted all other community resources.
  • Applicants must have had their economic condition impacted by COVID-19.
  • Applicants cannot exceed 200% of the federal poverty guidelines.
  • They must be a resident of Bartholomew, Decatur, Jackson, Johnson, or Shelby counties.
