• To provide effective legal education and assistance that enables Community Action Agencies (“CAAs”) to enhance their capacity to operate legally sound organizations.

The "Community Action Program" ("CAP") was established over thirty-five years ago by Congress as a centerpiece of the War on Poverty. The goal of the program, which is now part of the Community Services Block Grant, is to reduce poverty, revitalize low-income communities, and empower low-income individuals and families to become fully self-sufficient. The program is carried out by a national network of over 1300 designated Community Action Agencies ("CAAs"), which provide a diverse array of services to and advocacy on behalf of low-income individuals and families.
