Company Profile
|
In nearly every neighborhood in this country you are likely to see the fingerprint of a Community Action Agency. Upon declaration of the “War on Poverty,” which resulted from the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson created what has grown to over 1,000 of these Community Action Agencies across the nation – together Helping People, Changing Lives.
Community Action Partnership of Sonoma County, formerly SCPEO, has been partnering with low income families and individuals to help them achieve economic and social stability; to build community, and to advocate for social and economic justice for the past thirty-five years and has a rich history and strong allies here in Sonoma County.
In an effort to increase the visibility of this national movement the network of Community Action Agencies are all changing our names to Community Action Partnership. Our Board decided this past year to be part of the movement by changing our name to Community Action Partnership of Sonoma County.
Now more than ever, it is imperative that we let our friends, partners, the public and elected officials know the hope and opportunity we offer to the “working poor” in this the 4th least affordable county in the country.
America needs to know that the over 125,000 employees are working across the nation help people and change lives at a rate of 10 million every year!
By identifying with the larger network, we believe that the message of Community Action and the needs of those living in poverty cannot continue to be overlooked by the media, the general public and especially our representative government.
