Cincinnati-Hamilton County Community Action Agency

The Cincinnati-Hamilton County Community Action Agency (CAA) is a private, non-profit organization that has served as a lifeline for low-income children, adults and families throughout Hamilton County for more than four decades. The agency provides a safety net for those who have fallen and a ladder for those who are climbing. Delivering a seamless system of services, CAA and its 300 employees provide assistance with employment, supportive services, home energy efficiency, early childhood education, housing and youth programs. CAA is proud to be a part of the Community Action Partnership, a national association that represents the interests of the nearly 1,000 CAAs across the country, all devoted to ending poverty and empowering people to better their lives. MISSION To act as advocate, provider and facilitator for the full range of public and private resources, programs and policies which give low- to moderate-income individuals the opportunity to improve the quality of life for themselves, their families and their communities. VISION STATEMENT In our commitment to reducing the causes of poverty, we work together – community, Board and staff – with a dedication to quality, innovation and inspiration. We remain focused on the development, delivery of services and support to low‐income people in an environment of mutual trust, fairness and respect, resulting in an improved quality of life, self‐sufficiency and benefit to humanity.
