We're Here To Help. We Offer Comprehensive Services For All Ages.

Emergency Financial (Rent & Utilities) Assistance

CSA offers financial assistance for rent and/or PG&E bills, as well as providing vouchers to meet some other basic necessities of life such as work clothing and transportation. We also have limited dental, vision and prescription assistance available for uninsured children.

Food & Nutrition Center

CSA offers food items including fresh dairy and produce to those in need. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, CSA’s Food & Nutrition Center is open three days/week so individuals and families can receive nutritious food to stretch their budgets and minimize food-insecurity. Nutrition education, healthy eating and shopping habits are emphasized through workshops, flyers and recipes.

Senior Case Management

CSA has a staff of geriatric social worker/case managers to provide in-home assessments, counseling and referrals for community resources to help seniors live independently in their own homes and avoid premature institutionalization and/or unnecessary hospitalizations. For seniors with chronic health conditions, we offer intensive case management in partnership with El Camino Hospital with a specialized social worker, an RN case manager, and an LVN case manager. We also offer Community Outreach volunteers to provide escorted transportation and shopping assistance.

Senior Lunch & Nutrition Program

CSA provides hot and nutritious subsidized lunches for anyone over 60 years old, 5 days/week at the Mountain View Senior Center in partnership with both Santa Clara County’s Aging and Adult Service Department and with the City of Mountain View. Entertainment, dancing, bingo, health and nutrition education is offered both before and after the lunch program. Check the monthly calendar for daily menus and activities.

Homeless Services

CSA partners with Santa Clara County, other nonprofit service providers, and local faith communities to reach out to, case manage, and help access shelter and housing programs to assist those individuals and families who find themselves unhoused.

Department of Outreach and Engagement

The Outreach and Engagement Department’s mission is to provide leadership to ensure all programs and services are made accessible to our most vulnerable communities. We accomplish this by training trusted leaders within these communities, so they can help their neighbors, families, and friends navigate CSA programs and services. We also have assigned staff who are working directly in the field and are connecting potential clients to needed services. In addition to our direct work, we partner with other organizations to provide FREE educational workshops centralized on immigration, tenant rights, and domestic violence to bring accurate and trusted information to the general community.
