Don’t let lack of knowledge create lack of opportunity in your life. There are countless programs and services that remain untapped because people don’t know they exist. At CERC, we are the bridge that Hempstead residents and their families need – empowering you and your loved ones to thrive and improve the path of your lives. CERC helps you find what we all need most: options that make a difference
Life-changing Benefits, Yours for the Asking.
CERC is located at the offices of the Village of Hempstead Community Development Agency (CDA), and there is never a charge for using our computers or referral services, searching our database of programs and benefits, or speaking to one of our knowledgeable resource officers.
We work with you one-on-one to direct you to local programs developed to address whatever you and your family may be facing. We will guide you through the application process and provide additional support along the way – all free of charge.
