Clarification About CSC and Sequestration

Several days ago, CSC posted talking points excerpted directly from a White House Press Office release on the subject of the potential “sequestration” of federal funding. To the extent that our blog appeared to support or advocate a particular political agenda, we need to clarify: CSC takes no political position “for” or “against” the sequestration. Our intent is to bring you news about CSC and services and programs that affect our clients and communities.

As for the effect of sequestration on CSC, we will know more on March 1^st . Barring direction to the contrary from our funders, CSC has plans in place to continue all services and programs for at least the next 30 days, with the exception of federally funded long-term rental housing assistance. There, we will pause, waiting for clarification from our federal and state government before entering into long-term rent subsidy agreements.

So, if you are in need of assistance, or if you can offer assistance, CSC is still the place to start. Give us a call or come to one of the many locations we have listed on this blog. And thanks to those of you who take the time and care to communicate with CSC on our blog. We appreciate you.
