Who We Are
For over 30 years, the Florida Association for Community Action (FACA) has been on the front lines of fighting poverty — supporting Community Action Agencies across Florida with the tools, resources, and connections they need to serve their communities effectively.
-
FACA serves as the backbone of Florida's Community Action Network. We provide member agencies with training, technical assistance, advocacy, and information sharing — and we keep those agencies connected to each other, to government departments, social service providers, and the citizens they serve.
Through the FACA network, member agencies can engage in statewide conversations on public policy and the issues that matter most to their communities.
-
FACA works at the state, regional, and national level — exchanging information and advocating for policies that reduce poverty and expand opportunity. We are proud members of the National Community Action Partnership (NCAP), National Community Action Foundation (NCAF), and Community Action Program Legal Services, Inc. (CAPLAW).
-
FACA is a private nonprofit 501(c)(3) association headquartered in Tampa, Florida. We regularly review and update our strategic plan to ensure our work stays focused, relevant, and effective.
