Pace Community Action Agency

In addition to preschool education and family case management, the head start program provides dental, medical and mental health screenings. The program also provides nutritious meals for participating children, speech therapy for those children in need and educational/nutritional education for the parents of the participating children.

Family planning provides reproductive health care and contraception with preference to uninsured, low-income women, families and adolescents. Patients charges are assessed on a sliding fee scale. Services include sex education, prevention of unwanted pregnancy and family counseling.

The energy assistance program provides direct utility bill assistance payments to qualifying low-income families subsidizing high energy costs and thereby avoiding a possibility that heat will be lost in the cold winter months.

The weatherization assistance program helps reduce the energy burden of low-income families by educating them on energy conservation, inspecting and repairing troubled home areas and addressing issues that might increase energy costs or increase exposure to damaging energy sources.
