Community action agencies (CAAs) support families to help them gain self-sufficiency. They may provide short-term financial help to pay for items like:
- energy bills
- housing
- transportation
- employment expenses
The nonprofit, state- and federal grant-funded agencies also offer a variety of social services to people who need help. Case managers work closely with individuals and families to provide everything from employment to budgeting classes, debt reduction, and general self-sufficiency.
