Community Action Program Committee

Fighting Poverty. Changing Lives. Transforming Communities.

America was built on the promise that every family should have an opportunity for success. Yet, today’s uneven economy has put a good quality of life out of reach for too many Americans.

Community Action Program Committee-Pensacola is part of a national, 501(c)3 nonprofit membership organization that is funded by the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG), a federal program that allocates funding to states to connect Americans to greater opportunity.

Our agency began as a small summer program for children, and has developed into a multi-faceted agency targeting poverty in our community. We are an anti-poverty agency and the following four programs work cohesively as our organization focuses on its vision to change people’s lives, to embody the spirit of hope and to make the community a better place to live: CSBG; Head Start and Early Head Start; Low-Income Home Energy Assistance (LIHEAP); and Weatherization Assistance Program.
