Our vision at the Assistance Center is to be a valuable resource for the Collin County community. We offer support and services through our helpline, providing our community with the resources they need to help prevent homelessness, hunger and poverty. Our financial assistance programs provide short-term rental and utility assistance to keep families stably housed and to remove the threat of eviction and utility disconnections.
