ACCA provides emergency financial aid to area individuals and families to help with medical expenses, rent, utilities, and other needs. Requests for help come from ministers, social workers, and volunteer and community agencies.

ACCA tries to make sure that recipients of financial aid are put in touch with long-range help, such as social services assistance, subsidized housing, pastoral counseling, fuel assistance programs, credit counseling, or other services as needed.

To request emergency assistance, contact the Fairfax County Coordinated Services Planning office at 703-222-0880.
