A Safe Home Shouldn't Be Out of Reach
For many low-income families and seniors in Erie County, keeping up with rent and utility bills is a constant struggle. When housing costs take up too much of the budget, there's little left for food, transportation, medicine, or education.
And the cost isn't just financial—substandard housing puts children's health at risk and makes it harder for families to stay stable. But when housing is safe and affordable, everything changes. Kids do better in school. Parents can keep their jobs. Families move forward.
At GECAC, we help make that possible. Through rental and utility assistance, we help families stay warm, stay safe, and stay together—so they can focus on building a better future.
Need help with housing costs? We're here for you.
