The mission for The Community Action Commission of Fayette County is:  Helping People.  Changing Lives.  While simplistic, this statement overarches the multitude of programs available for children, adolescents, teens, young adults, individuals, families, and the elderly.

The Community Action Commission of Fayette County is a private, non-profit organization that incorporated under the Economic Opportunity Act
of 1964.  CAC handles over $4,000,000 annually in federal, state, and local funds.  Programs it operates includes:

Salvation Army, Permanent Supportive Housing, Head Start, Weatherization, Transportation, Job Training, Senior Services, Home Ownership Programs, Homeless and Domestic Violence Shelter, Licensed Supervised Visitation Center, Transitional Housing, and more!

The Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 was to established to fight America's War on Poverty.  Fayette County's Community Action Commission strives to help our communities' residents achieve self-sufficiency through a diverse variety of programs.

Community Action Agencies are required to have a three part board.  1/3 Private, 1/3 Public, and 1/3 Participant Sector.  CAA's are also required to have one formerly homeless on the Board.  We would like to take this time out to thank our Board for donating their time to such a worthy cause.
