Community Action Partnership of Colusa, Glenn, and Trinity Counties - Community Action Agency

Details: After the federal government acted to establish its first policies to address the inequality of poverty in America, the concept of local control of such policies was born. In 1964, Congress passed and then – President Johnson signed the Economic Opportunity Act into existence. An important feature of the law was to create local community action programs (CAP) in counties across America. These CAPs would be governed by a board of local residents representing low-income, public, and private sectors. The composition of the organizational governance was intended to ensure that CAP activities reflected local conditions and perspectives. While the federal government would provide some funds for operations the intent was that the local communities would leverage additional resources to accomplish a larger impact on poverty using strategies planned by local CAPs. A Community Action Agency works to reduce poverty in its local community by helping to ensure that available local, state, private, and federal resources assist low-income individuals and families to acquire useful skills and knowledge, gain access to new opportunities, and achieve economic self-sufficiency.
