Capital Area Community Action Agency, Inc. - Jefferson County

The Capital Area Community Action Agency, Inc. (CACAA), is a private non-profit organization-501(c)(3) that was created in 1965 as the Leon County-Tallahassee Community Action Program to serve only Leon County residents. In 1980, it assumed sponsorship of antipoverty programs in Gadsden, Jefferson, Calhoun, Liberty, Franklin and a portion of Gulf Counties. The name was then changed to compliment the expanded service area. In 2010 service was extended to include all of Gulf County. Wakulla was the last county to be added to the Capital Area Community Action Area service area. Our Mission is to provide a comprehensive, seamless system of services and resources to reduce the detrimental effects of poverty, empower low-income citizens with skills and motivation to become self-sufficient, and improve the overall quality of their lives, and our community.
