MASSCAP is the association of the 23 Community Action Agencies (CAAs) – federally mandated anti-poverty agencies – operating in Massachusetts. CAAs were created 50 years ago as part of the Great Society programs to eliminate the paradox of poverty amidst plenty and to foster economic stability and mobility among our vulnerable friends and neighbors living with low incomes. MASSCAP’s mission is to strengthen and connect the statewide network of CAAs and collectively advocate for an end to poverty.
