Additional Resources

• Missouri has 19 Community Action Agencies (CAA's), and most counties have at least one CAA office. Many of them can help pay rent or energy bills, and many operate their own low-cost housing programs that include housing for people experiencing homelessness. If you are in danger of losing your home, getting evicted, or having your power shut off, contact your local CAA to see if they can help.
