Economic barriers continue to deny families the tools they need to thrive.

Persistent economic hardship continues to challenge many underserved communities across the nation.  Limited access to affordable housing, healthcare, reliable employment, and disaster recovery resources creates compounding barriers to self-sufficiency and well-being. Families and youth are particularly affected, facing:


  • Emotional and financial stress: Challenges like food insecurity, housing instability, and exposure to unsafe environments can impact the health and emotional resilience of children and families.


  • Fewer pathways to prosperity: Without access to quality education, job training, and supportive services, it becomes more difficult to achieve lasting economic mobility.


Community Action NOW! is addressing these challenges through a forward-thinking, nonpartisan strategy that aligns with national goals for opportunity and recovery. Our work includes:


  • Community-based support programs that provide individuals and families with tools, services, and educational opportunities to promote well-being and economic independence.


  • Collaborative policy engagement designed to remove barriers and help communities fully participate in programs that expand housing, health, workforce, and disaster recovery options.
