The Promise of Community Action: Community Action changes people's lives, embodies the spirit of hope, improves communities, and makes America a better place to live. We care about the entire community, and we are dedicated to helping people help themselves and each other. Our Programs: Community Action Agency of Oklahoma City and Oklahoma/Canadian Counties, Inc., established in 1965, serves the communities with programs designed to "promote the self-sufficiency of the socially, economically, and culturally disadvantaged citizens of our service area." CAA partners with private businesses and other Agencies to provide comprehensive programs that address substance abuse, home repair, child-care, economic development, and home ownership to name a few. Currently CAA addresses the needs of the community by administering the following programs: Since its inception in 1964, CAA has remained devoted to its mission of promoting self-help for low-income people and neighborhoods. CAA empowers disadvantaged people by providing them with the tools to overcome poverty, live with dignity, and achieve their full potential. It emphasizes education, skilled job-training and asset development. While CAA's overall focus remains long term self-sufficiency, we understand that sometimes, things happen. CAA offers a number of programs that help families through these times of crisis, including utility assistance in winter, and rental assistance. Once stability has been established CAA helps people move forward with a focus on education and skill development. The agency works closely with area businesses and academic institutions to develop programs that educate workers who are consistently applauded for their abilities and commitment to excellence. .
