SEACAA

Across the Southeast, Community Action Agencies are benefitting from sustained federal and state investments in efforts to reduce poverty and expand economic opportunity. Thanks to continued Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) allocations and complementary state-level support, agencies in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee are scaling programs that strengthen families and communities.

These funds fuel a broad range of services, including emergency assistance, workforce training, financial coaching, housing stabilization, early childhood supports, and senior services. By removing barriers and expanding access to opportunity, Community Action Agencies are helping residents across the region move from crisis to stability and long-term self-sufficiency.

As economic pressures — like rising housing costs and inflation — continue to challenge families in communities across the Southeast, SEACAA remains committed to supporting policies and partnerships that expand access to resources that strengthen households and regional economies.

Regional Quotes/Appreciation: SEACAA celebrates the ongoing collaboration between federal, state, and local leaders who ensure community needs are central to anti-poverty strategy.
