Ozark Action, Inc. A non-profit Community Action Agency serving Douglas, Howell, Oregon, Ozark, Texas & Wright counties. Head Start helps ALL children succeed. Mtn.

Below is a description of all our departments:
The Community Services Department serves families in need and provides referrals for services within OAI and outside of the agency. Our staff provides individual counseling to discuss our programs in privacy and with respect to our clients and families. Head Start is a Federal program for preschool children from low-income families. Services are offered to meet the special needs of children with disabilities. Head Start is for the entire family. Through regular interaction with parents and guardians, Head Start works to provide information, support, referral and services to help families. Children must be three years old by the deadline to qualify for entry. Priority is given to children who are four years old before the deadline. Other eligibility criteria include family income, location, and special needs. Ozark Properties, Inc. provides affordable and quality housing for eligible persons. View and Hartville have single-family three bedroom homes. The HUD program assists very-low income families, the elderly, and the disabled to afford decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable rental housing. The Weatherization Program is a service for homeowners or renters who meet the guidelines of the program. Weatherizing can make a home warmer in the winter and cooler during the summer, in return saving heating and cooling costs. WX crews insulate and repair homes. Applicants must meet income and grant guidelines. A program for rental property is also available. Renters must have owner approval and participate to receive services. OAI staff and volunteers offer consulting assistance with Medicare questions. Eligibility screening and assistance in enrollment is available for Extra Help and Missouri RX program. We also offer a comparison of Part D plans, Advantage plans, and supplements.
