COMMUNITY ACTION AGENCY
Community Action Agencies (CAAs) are nonprofit private and public organizations established under the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 to promote self-sufficiency. The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) is the agencies' core source of federal funding. CAAs also operate a variety of grants that come from federal, state, and local sources. These grants vary widely among agencies, although most CAAs operate Head Start programs, which focus on early childhood development. Other programs frequently administered by CAAs include Low-Income Home Energy Assistance (LIHEAP) utility grants and the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP), funded through the US Department of Energy (DOE).

Each CAA is governed locally and provides a different mix of programs and services. Programs typically include:
-Community coordination
-Emergency services
-Education
-Food and nutrition
-Family development
-Training/employment
-Income management
-Transportation
-Housing
-Economic development
-Health care
