About Our Members

The Pennsylvania Community Action network analyzes community needs to identify strategies that will work best in attacking poverty. Each of the 43 agencies is unique in its approach to poverty because its programs and services reflect the needs of their local communities.

Funding for Pennsylvania’s Community Action agencies comes from a variety of state, local and federal sources. The federal Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) provides core funding. In FY 2009 Pennsylvania received $26.5 million in CSBG funds.

For every $1 in CSBG funds, Community Action leverages an additional $12 in local, state and federal funding.
