HELPING PEOPLE REACH SELF-SUFFICIENCY FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS

  • Energy and Housing: CAAs help alleviate energy and housing burdens through programs like energy efficiency and transitional housing.
  • Food: CAAs help feed families through community gardening and summer food programs.
  • Education: CAAs equip families through Head Start, employment training, and workforce development.
  • Health: CAAs offer preventative care, women’s health programs, and child dental screenings.
  • Family and Economic Security: CAAs provide a variety of programs to promote economic security like life skills training and financial programs.
