Mission Statement
Community Action changes people's lives, embodies the spirit of hope, improves communities, and makes America a better place to live. We care about the entire community and we are dedicated to helping people help themselves and each other.
Description
Community Action Agencies are local private and public non-profit organizations that carry out the Community Action Program (CAP), which was founded by the 1964 Economic Opportunity Act to fight poverty by empowering the poor in the United States.
CAAs are intended to promote self-sufficiency, and they depend heavily on volunteer work, especially from the low-income community. They also depend heavily on federal funding, which now comes primarily from the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) program.
Each CAA has a board consisting of at least one-third low-income community members, one-third public officials, and up to one-third private sector leaders.
There are currently over 1,000 CAAs, engaged in a broad range of activities; typical activities include promoting citizen participation, providing energy assistance and home weatherization, administration of Head Start & Early Head Start and child care programs, job training, health, nutrition, housing and employment-related assistance; and to address the problems and barriers which block the achievement of self-sufficiency.
