Connecticut Community Action Agencies
Connecticut’s nine Community Action Agencies (CAAs) continually strive to address the causes and conditions of poverty.
Through the identification and removal of social and economic barriers, the mobilization of community resources, advocacy, and the provision of direct services at the community level, CAAs use cost-effective and community-based processes to help limited income people and communities in all 169 cities and towns across the state.
