COMMUNITY ACTION PARTNERSHIP
CSET is a proud member of the National Community Action Partnership. The nation’s Community Action network – including 1,000 plus Community Action Agencies – are a robust, national, state, and local force, reaching children and families in 99% of America’s counties with life-changing services that create pathways to opportunity and prosperity.

The Community Action Partnership:
- Connects individuals and families to approaches that help them succeed – including high-quality education programs for children, job retraining for adults, stable and affordable housing for families, utility assistance for seniors, and so much more.

- Promotes community-wide solutions to seemingly stubborn challenges throughout our cities, suburbs, and in rural areas – whether it’s the lack of affordable housing or the need to promote economic growth that benefits all families.

- Shares expertise with national, state, and local leaders looking for evidence on what works to promote greater economic opportunity for children and families.

The Promise of Community Action:

Community Action changes people’s lives, embodies the spirit of hope, improves communities, and makes America a better place to live. We care about the entire community, and we are dedicated to helping people help themselves and each other.
