Fifty-five years ago, President Kennedy's vision of a Great Society was brought to life with the signing of the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 by President Lyndon B. Johnson.

The Community Action Agencies, or CAAs, are uniquely set up to address the needs of their diverse communities with flexible funding and programs. From health and education to job opportunities and other support programs, these agencies are creating socioeconomic opportunity and change in over 1,000 communities across the nation.
