What is a Community Action Agency?

The concept of Community Action Agencies was born out of the enactment of the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964.  It did not take long for CAAs to become respected institutions, recognized for their unique ability to identify problems for the low-income community and to mobilize residents and resources to address them. 

Every community has unique challenges and HSP is constantly developing and implementing solutions that will fit the specific needs of our local area.
