About Us
Founded in 1966, Community Action Team is committed to:
- Reducing the extent and negative effects of poverty
- Increase family self-reliance
- Improving community facilities and affordable housing stock
Community Action programs trace their roots to the Johnson Administration’s War on Poverty. Like similar Community Action agencies the country, CAT’s Board of Directors is community based. One-third comes from the business sector, one-third from the government sector, and a third are low-income residents of the community. This Board structure provides a diverse perspective on our activities and the needs of our communities. If you would like to view Community Action Team's Annual Report click here Annual Report.
