Before enrolling in Lifeline's Family Development program (the Community Action Agency for Lake County, Ohio), Stacy worried each night about how to provide for her two young daughters. She was working and going to school, but it never seemed like enough. How would she feed them? Clothe them? Would she ever feel like she could give them everything they needed?
Community Action Agencies work to alleviate poverty and empower low-income families in their communities. We change people's lives and improve communities. The Ohio Association of Community Action Agencies represents 50 agencies around the state serving the needs of low-income people in all of Ohio’s 88 counties. This blog will share some of the ways in which Ohio's CAAs have helped people in their community.

Community Action Serves Middletown Veteran with Mobility Modifications
Mr. Dean enjoys sitting on his repaired porch with a new wheelchair ramp that allows him to leave the house. |
Imagine being confined to your home for over two years with trips being limited only to the doctor or hospital.

This is a reality for too many disabled, low-income people, and is exactly what Mr. Dean of Middletwon was experiencing.
