Established in 1976, the North Dakota Community Action Association is a private non- profit statewide membership organization representing North Dakota’s seven Community Action Agencies. Community Action Agencies were originally established under the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 to fight America’s War on Poverty. Today, the seven Community Action Agencies in the state provide essential services to every region and all 53 counties. Community Action Agencies are governed by uniquely structured boards of directors whose members derive from diverse segments of the community—low-income, private, and public sectors. By combing resources—local, state, private and federal, agencies enable low-income people of ages to secure the opportunities they need to obtain and maintain self sufficiency.
