What Are Community Action Agencies?

Community Action Agencies are public and private non profit organization originally established under Economic Opportunity Act 1964 to fight America's War on Poverty.

The nearly 1,000 Community Action Agencies across the United States serve 98 percent of the nation's cities and countries, and are a primary source of the support for the more than 38 million Americans living in poverty.

Community Action is one of 33 Community Action Agencies in the State of Michigan dedicated to promoting economic and social opportunities that help people achieve greater independence, dignity, and self-sufficiency.

Community Action serves residents of Barry, Branch, Calhoun, and St. Joseph Counties, and targets its programs and services to the specific needs of those communities.  Last year, Community Action provided assistance to more than 15,400 children, seniors, and low-income individuals in its four-county service area.
