History
of Clatsop Community Action
Clatsop
Community Action (CCA) was founded in 1984.
CCA is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization which seeks to end poverty, hunger,
homelessness and their root causes by providing services to the low-income
& homeless in Clatsop County.
CCA offers a
variety of services including Clatsop
Regional Food Bank, energy
assistance, respite
referral,
temporary rental
assistance, homeless case management,
a
mail/
messenger service,
and a
free
store.
In addition to providing
these services, CCA identifies and develops programs to meet
needs not currently being addressed in Clatsop County. In this regard,
CCA will soon be offering a Housing Information Session, and a Monday
Resource Seminar.

In 1994, CCA
became a Community Development Corporation (CDC). In
1995, a Community Housing Development Organization. Because of
this, CCA has the ability to use resources related to housing, employment & business
programs. CCA acquired a 22-unit apartment complex called Hilltop
Apartments. As a Community
Development Organization, CCA will continue to identify & address needs
that will enable low income people to achieve self-sufficiency.
