Updated Safer At Home order until Nov. 8th at 5pm

09/30/2020

Today Governor Kay Ivey extended the Safer at Home order, which includes our statewide mask requirement, until Sunday, November 8. Gov. Ivey stated, "I look forward to being able to lift the mask order as much as you do, but the reason we’re extending this order until after the election on Nov. 3 is because it’s important to have a safe environment for poll workers and citizens to vote in-person. During the past few weeks, Alabama has made real progress. The fact is our mask order that we imposed on July 16 is working, and the numbers speak for themselves. I’m asking all of you to please be patient a little while longer."

Alabama Governor Kay Ivey on Wednesday announced a statewide mask mandate through the end of July as coronavirus cases continue to climb. The current "Safer At Home" order has been amended with the new mask ordinance and remains in effect until 5 p.m. on July 31. The amended health order comes a day after the state reported a pandemic-high of 40 deaths in a single day. Masks will be required starting at 5 p.m. on Thursday for anyone over the age of 6 and who's in public and within six feet of someone who's not a relative. There are exceptions, including for people with certain medical conditions, exercising and some work activities. . #jcceobham #coronavirus #numbersdontlie

Steps to lower your gas and electric bills through home weatherization can include repair or replacement of windows and doors, caulking, weather stripping, and/or adding ceiling insulation. Low-income residents whose homes are selected for this program can use their utility savings for other critical needs.

Our Programs

Head Start/Early Head Start/Pre-K Program. Community Services Programs: The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)/The Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP)/Adult Day Health Care Program/Adult Senior Nutrition Program/Financial Literacy Program

The Jefferson County Committee for Economic Opportunity (JCCEO) is one of over 1000 Community Action Agencies nationwide, all created by the Economic Opportunity Act (EOA), which Lyndon B. Johnson signed into law on August 20, 1964, to wage a national "War on Poverty." The goal of the act was to encourage communities to organize and use available resources to help improve the conditions in which people live, learn, and work.

On January 21, 1965, the Birmingham Area Committee for Development of Economic Opportunity was incorporated to carry out the activities of a nonprofit organization pursuant to the 1964 EOA. In June 1965, the City of Birmingham and Jefferson County made an agreement to appoint directors to a countywide board of directors for a Community Action Program. On December 5, 1965, the Jefferson County Committee for Economic Opportunity opened its doors to provide a wide range of services to low-income residents of Jefferson County.

"We Deliver More than Promises" continues to be more than a slogan at JCCEO; it is a way of life. JCCEO has served as a channel through which several hundred million dollars have flowed to provide vital services for those with low incomes. It also has provided a significant economic boost to Jefferson County, Alabama. JCCEO is a special place in our community where people find the means to cope with the gaps in their lives and to better themselves in ways that often last a lifetime.
