There has been a lot of complaining about the abuse of the welfare system, and justifiably so, but there’s another system in place that allows all illegal aliens access to our tax dollars out in the open and no one says a thing about it or asks if they’re here legally. Actually they go out of their way to help those that are here illegally. It’s the nonprofits that are getting millions in grants to do practically the same thing. Only recently have ACORN and those connected to it been exposed of the crimes that organization has committed. But there are plenty of other nonprofits who focus on providing just about everything for the illegal aliens here in this country. These nonprofits provide even more than the welfare office provide. Check out what goodies they’re giving out and ask yourself if you are receiving these things for free. But the truth is you’re probably paying for them.
These nonprofits provide:
food, housing, notary, home weatherization programs weather stripping, fix broken windows, replace doors, replace old refrigerators and other appliances with new energy-efficient ones, energy-efficient light bulbs, smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms, water heater and furnace repairs, legal services, pay their moving cost, lease assistance, voter registration, medical, tax assistance, help getting entitlements, information and referral assistance, home energy assistance programs will pay their utility bills at least once a year, and help getting discounts on their utilities that all the other utility customers pay for, private tutors for many classes such as reading, writing and government civic education bilingual citizenship instruction language and computer skills and more.
Do you get any of that stuff for free? Yet the food banks and much of these nonprofits are receiving millions of our tax dollars to provide some of these services to the illegal aliens here. The utility freebees are charged to every utility customer on their utility bill, it is a requirement of the California Utilities Commission.

County agency awaits $1 million in federal grant money
Red tape delayed stimulus money to weatherize homes for low-income families: Nobody knew how much workers should be paid
By Angela Randazzo
Special to the Acorn
Community Action of Ventura County (CAVC) expects to get the green light soon to use nearly $1 million in federal stimulus funds to help low-income families weatherize their homes.
The nonprofit organization— one of 62 in the state to receive the special funding—hoped to have the funds available before the start of rainy season, but political red tape got in the way, said Socorro Lopez Hanson, executive director of CAVC.
OXNARD — Community Action of Ventura County will pay either one gas or electric bill for qualifying low-income families in Ventura County.
The nonprofit has leftover funds from its 2009 Home Energy Assistance Program that can be used through June.
HEAP is geared for families with the lowest incomes that pay a high portion of their household income for home energy.
Interviews are by appointment at CAVC’s office at 621 Richmond Ave. and at other locations in Ventura County. To set up an appointment or to obtain an application packet, call 436-4000.
CAVC, formerly called the Commission on Human Concerns, is a nonprofit group that helps low-income, disadvantaged and at-risk families and individuals to become self-sufficient through a variety of programs and services.

Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, $151 million in funds were allocated statewide for weatherizing low-income homes. CAVC was notified last year that they would receive $996,000.
In 2009, the agency received $78,000 from the Department of Energy and weatherized 54 homes. Additional funding sources for weatherization include the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, Southern California Gas and Southern California Edison.
