Monetary awards through CCHASM Crisis Financial Support (CFS) fund are available as of June 1, 2023, to individuals and families who have been adversely affected by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and are facing a sudden economic hardship.

​

In 2020, we created a $100,000 crisis fund for financial assistance.  From 2020 - 2021,  CCHASM provided $350 awards throughout our service area. A second phase of the CFS program will be implemented through May 2024 or until funds are exhausted.
