Fayette County Community Action Agency, Inc. "Let us carry forward the plans and programs of John F. President Lyndon B. Participation of the Poor in the Community Decision-Making Process.
(1)

At the FCCAA, our mission is to strengthen individuals and families to become more self sufficient, achieving their potential by taking advantage of opportunities, improving the conditions in which they live and taking ownership of their community. After the assassination of President Kennedy in November 1963, President Lyndon Baines Johnson expanded the policy ideas initiated during the Kennedy a

dministration. Kennedy, not because of our sorrow or sympathy, but because they are right... .This administration today, here and now, declares an unconditional War on Poverty in America.... Our joint federal-local effort must pursue poverty, pursue it wherever it exists. In city slums, in small towns, in sharecroppers shacks, or in migrant worker camps, on Indian reservations, among whites as well as Negroes, among the young as well as the aged, in the boom towns and in the depressed areas." Johnson
Message to Congress on January 8,1964

A hallmark of American democracy is the tradition of individuals forming organizations to protect and advance their common interests. This tradition of group activity has become an important part of our decision-making process, making it more responsible to citizens needs. Thus, business and trade associations, labor unions, professional societies civic associations ethnic groups and other special interest groups have influenced public policy and helped shape political, economic and social decision-making processes. The Community Action Program builds on this tradition and extends it to include the poor, who have not fully participated in the past. Community Action Agencies have a responsibility to broaden the scope of opportunities within their own agencies and in the larger communities for participation of the poor, and to help the poor equip themselves to take advantage of these opportunities. Office of Economic Opportunity, August 1969

Yesterday, members of our staff took a short field trip to learn about and tour some of our affordable housing options.

A short walk from campus took us to Beeson Town Apartments and Maple Gardens, where our housing team and NDC Asset Management gave us a tour of available units, community rooms and explained income guidelines, costs and more about these two properties.

Interested in moving to one of these buildings? Reach out to our housing team for more. Please note, Maple Gardens is for people 55+.

September is Hunger Action Month. With SNAP enrollment dropping and food insecurity rising, Food Banks and pantries are trying to fill the gap.

With over 50 food pantries in Fayette County, as well as our Food Bank and Shop Thru at the Redstone Satellite Center, FCCAA is in our communities getting food to those who need it most.

Consider donating or volunteering if you are able, and if you are in need of assistance, please come see us.
