Welcome to the Clinch Valley Community Action website. This site is designed to describe our agency and all of the programs available for those eligible to participate.  This site also gives us the opportunity to pay special tribute to those who work tirelessly to ensure that not only CVCA’s services are delivered, but that our community is a better place to live.

Approximately 96,000 children in Virginia are eligible for low-cost or free health care coverage available through Medicaid and/or FAMIS, but they are not enrolled.

Project Connect, an outreach program funded through a grant from the Virginia Health Care Foundation and the Department of Medical Assistance Services in partnership with the Cumberland Plateau Health District, strives to provide eligible clients with access to Virginia’s low-cost or free health insurance programs: FAMIS, FAMIS MOMS, Medicaid, and Medicaid for Pregnant Women.  In Virginia, a family of four earning up to $42,400 a year may qualify. Unfortunately, many parents, especially those in working families, are unaware that their uninsured children may be eligible for coverage.  Through application assistance, advocacy, and follow-up, Project Connect is available to assist eligible families in Buchanan, Smyth, and Tazewell counties enroll in and maintain valuable health insurance for their families.
