Assisting Individuals and Families in Breaking the Cycle of Poverty
Established in 1965, the Northeast Florida Community Action Agency (NFCAA) has been a cornerstone of support for low-income families in Baker, Clay, Nassau, Flagler, St. Johns, and Putnam counties. Over the years, NFCAA developed a comprehensive approach to addressing the unique challenges faced by residents of these counties, empowering them with the tools and resources necessary to improve their quality of life.
Preventing Service Interruptions and Alleviating Financial Burdens
Through programs such as the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), the agency provides financial aid to help families pay their utility bills, ensuring they can maintain essential services like electricity and heating, especially during extreme weather conditions. This assistance helps prevent service disconnections and reduces the financial burden on households facing economic hardship.
Forming Strategic Partnerships
The NFCAA is also deeply involved in community outreach and works collaboratively with other local organizations, businesses, and government agencies to expand its impact. By forming strategic partnerships, the agency ensures that its services reach as many individuals as possible and that residents can access a robust support network.
