As a non-profit organization, Nueces County Community Action Agency strives to promote the participation of the entire community in an effort to reduce or eliminate poverty in geographically designated areas. We include elected public officials, private sector representatives, and especially low-income residents in assessing local needs and attacking the causes and conditions of these poverty areas. Through their efforts and ours, we reach out to low-income people in their communities. We address their multiple needs through a comprehensive approach and the development of partnerships with community organizations. We involve low-income clients in the Agency’s operations, and administer a full range of coordinated programs designed to have a measurable impact on poverty. It is my most sincere belief that in order for us to know where we are going, it is important that we know where we came from, who we are and what we stand for. As an Agency, our staff and community supporters take full responsibility to continue our pursuit to sustain and epitomize the “Promise of Community Action.”
