ACAA

Arizona Community Action Association

The Arizona Community Action Association (ACAA) was incorporated as a non-profit organization in 1967 in response to a need for a statewide forum to address issues relating to poverty. Through its membership, ACAA has the capability to bring together public officials, low-income persons, representatives of the private sector and human service providers to develop strategies to that address poverty. ACAA was created to:

• Provide a unified voice in the fight against poverty.
