The Community Action and Human Services Department (CAHSD) has 16 Community Advisory Committees
(CACs). The committees are comprised of low-income residents serving the interests of their respective
communities, through the development of projects, activities, and educational workshops. These committees have
been helping their communities for over twenty years. The main purpose of these committees is to serve as
advocates for the economically disadvantaged in the CAHSD target areas.
One of the duties of these committees is to assist our youth in an effort to further their education. Every
year, these committees raise funds to help support a graduating high school student or a student who is
presently iri college. Each committee is responsible for raising five hundred dollars ($500) that will be
matched. A deserving student from the Accion/Little Havana community will be awarded with a $1,500
scholarship.
We ask that you please consider supporting our fund raising aims by issuing a check made payable to the
Community Action Agency Foundation, and mail it to our main office at:
