Minnesota’s Community Action Agencies are a trusted entity by the people who access their programs which can range from those who live below the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines to families whose income is reaching 200% of poverty.
While many will argue that poverty will always be with us, Community Action believes that poverty is man made and can be eradicated through policy, programs, and caring about those who live in their communities. They are on the front lines and understand that poverty in 2024 is a complicated issue. Only through public-private partnerships, having a seat at their local decision-making tables with public and corporate entities and through the blending and braiding of a variety of safety net funds will we truly move the needle for the millions of Minnesota residents that are using government health care programs.
Utilizing a collective impact approach, most (96%) of the local agencies are members of the Minnesota Community Action Partnership (MinnCAP). MinnCAP’s vision is to be recognized in Minnesota’s policy-setting and legislative groups as the authority on issues of poverty, self-sufficiency, and community development, exemplifying our core values of compassion, honesty, and reliability.
