Community Action Agencies
In 1964 the Economic Opportunity Act incorporated Community Action Agencies, locally controlled private nonprofit organizations whose purpose is to reduce poverty and to help low-income people become self-sufficient.
Community Action Agencies in Ohio serve all 88 counties housing income eligible Ohioans toward greater self-sufficiency.
Ohio’s Community Action Agency Network provides a broad base of programs and services tied to a formal assessment of needs in their service territories.
