Support CAA

Who We Are
In January of 1964, President Lyndon Johnson declared an unconditional "War on Poverty". From that State of the Union message to Congress came the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964. Its main goal was to eliminate the causes and conditions of poverty through creating local community action agencies like Community Action Agency of Jackson, Lenawee, and Hillsdale. Community action agencies helped by providing a local approach to identifying and addressing the needs of a community. Community Action Agency has been promoting self-sufficiency since 1965.
