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 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 and business programs. CCA acquired a 22-unit apartment complex called Hilltop Apartments. As a Community Development Organization, CCA will continue to identify and address needs that will enable low income people to achieve self-sufficiency.
