Our Programs
Since 1965, Monticello Area Community Action Agency (MACAA) has led the effort to eradicate poverty and improve the lives of low-income people in Central Virginia. We provide programs that benefit preschool-aged children, teens and adults in our communities.
Project Discovery
Our Project Discovery program specifically focuses on encouraging and helping high school students from low income families prepare for and pursue a college education. Students receive assistance with completing college applications, locating financial aid, planning for their careers and preparing them to excel academically and socially beyond high school.
Hope House
Since 1988, Hope House has transformed the lives of dozens of families. The program offers housing and intensive case management for families facing homelessness in our community. We work with up to four families at a time to provide a safe home, stabilize the family, reach employment goals, attain money management skills and maintain a healthy home environment.
Emergency Assistance
Offices in Fluvanna, Louisa and Nelson counties provide emergency assistance to families by providing them with food, clothing and financial resources to cover rent or utility costs. We assess needs and link individuals to resources in the region. Our Fluvanna center operates a Thrift Shop and a Food Pantry in partnership with the Fluvanna Christian Service Society.
