Our Family Support program offers opportunities to families and individuals in need.
GAP features Family Transition Advisors who work families who receive K-TAP. Family Transition Advisors are folks from the community who are former welfare recipients and good resource people. GAP is designed to help recipients of K-TAP access education, employment, housing, and other services that will help improve their lives. Staff help families to identify goals and ways to reach them. Then, they link them with the necessary resources, provide support and encouragement, and help them think strategically about decisions. We work in partnership with the Kentucky Department of Community Based Services to provide this program to families in Perry County.
This program is funded in part by the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services.
Each year, Community Ministries provides free tax preparation for low-income households to help them obtain and keep their Earned Income Tax Credit without a rapid anticipation loan. The EITC is a well-documented wealth-building tool, and we want to help people keep all of their earned income. We begin preparing taxes February 1 each year. Please call to schedule an appointment.
