About the Program

Community Action Agency provides mortgage/rental assistance, food pantry, job placement, Head Start, small business loans, home buyers assistance, emergency home repairs, and prescription assistance.

The Community Action Agency of OKC/Oklahoma County was established in 1966, and initially was financed by the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, which launched the nation’s “War on Poverty.” Eventually the funding was consolidated into the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG). In 1983 the Agency assumed responsibility for community action efforts in Canadian County and was re-designated the Community Action Agency of Oklahoma City and Oklahoma/ Canadian Counties, Inc. Currently, the Oklahoma Department of Commerce (ODOC) issues CSBG funds, state-appropriated funds, and weatherization funds to CAAs across the state.
