Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)
The EITC program is a
grassroots effort which means every volunteer can make a significant difference
in the community.
The EITC refundable credit can put more then $4,000 in the pockets of West Virginia’s low to moderate income families who qualify and apply for it. It can increase a family's income by 50 percent. But, if a family is eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit yet doesn't apply, the money goes back to the U.S. Treasury.
Although filing for the EITC claim is the coalition’s short-term goal, outreach efforts this year focus on helping those who claim it do something meaningful with it. Whether individuals want to go back to school, buy a home, or start a new business, creating assets and savings is the first step to reaching dreams.

Cabell County Substance Abuse Prevention Partnership
(CCSAPP)
CCSAPP is a coalition of various agencies, organizations and individuals working together to reduce local substance abuse with strong collaborative partnerships and community ownership, using awareness, education, and community-wide solutions.
Why Prevention? The social, health and criminal consequences of substance abuse are costly to the community, devastating to families, and highly preventable. Research shows that prevention efforts comprising multiple strategies throughout a community can reduce substance abuse in that community. CCSAPP works to raise community awareness; provide substance abuse prevention education; increase community access to substance abuse prevention information and promote efforts to decrease risk factors and increase protective factors for Cabell County youth.
