Community Action Agencies are nonprofit and public groups funded by the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG), a federal program that allocates funding to states to connect Americans to greater opportunity.
The nation’s Community Action Agencies embody our nation’s spirit of hope, change people’s lives, and improve communities. When national, state and local leaders tap into these agencies’ experience, they can promote workable solutions that connect more families to opportunity – and make America a better place to live for everyone.

CAC’s Community Resource Specialists address the underlying cause of the crisis. Sessions are held across Tallapoosa, Chambers and Coosa County, and the staff provide one-on-one Budget Counseling to eliminate financial stressors. The support will help people become more self-sufficient, and gain the skills and tools necessary to manage their finances. They can learn how to control cash flow and understand credit scores.
A full review of their financial situation needs to occur as well. Based on a budget review, areas for change are identified. The next step is that the client is provided with the appropriate resources, training, and education. Action steps are then put into place for clients to follow as they move toward greater stability and growth are incorporated into all program activities and training sessions.
