Vehicle Distribution and Repairs - Douglas County Car Care
Car distribution: receives, inspects, and repairs donated cars and then distributes them to residents to help them achieve economic security and self-sufficiency. The goal is to help people move from welfare to work, immigrants or refugees who are unable to establish credit to purchase a vehicle needed for work, underemployed, unemployed, people with disabilities, seniors and students. Car repair: repairs are only provided once for any applicant, and it is not available if the client already received a donated vehicle from DCCCP (unless special funding is available). When the application process is complete, an appointment will be made to evaluate the client's vehicle to determine if the repair is: - Essential for safety or reliability of the vehicle - Reasonable based on the vehicle's age and condition - Within the budget limits of DCCCP or other resources can pay for the difference - Able to be completed in the four hour block of time when volunteers are available.
