help with household costs

When life gets overwhelming, home should be your refuge. If it isn’t, even everyday challenges can feel harder. At caba, we’re here to help, with grants that make your home a place of comfort and calm - regardless of what else is going on.

helping you feel at home, even when life gets complicated

Home should be the place where you breathe a sigh of relief, where you curl up after a long day, share meals with loved ones, and make memories that last. But when your living space isn’t comfortable or equipped for your needs, it can add to your stress, strain relationships, and leave you feeling even more exhausted. 

At caba, we believe everyone deserves a safe, comfortable home. That’s why we offer financial support to make it happen. Whether it’s help replacing essential furniture, covering the cost of appliances, helping with bills, or making adjustments for illness or disability, we’re here to make life easier. 

Having a comfortable home isn’t a luxury – it's the basis of your mental and physical wellbeing.
