NJCAA is the state association of Community Action Agencies in New Jersey.

Since its inception in 1971, NJCAA has continued to provide training and technical assistance to New Jersey's 23 Community Action Agencies (CAAs) and four Limited Purpose Agencies (LPAs). NJCAA also advises CAAs/LPAs of pertinent state and federal activities, and promote networks between CAAs/LPAs and other social service agencies who share our objectives.

The New Jersey Community Action Association, Incorporated, (NJCAA) is a private non-profit corporation funded in part by the Community Services Block Grant.

As advocates for CAAs/LPAs and their clients, NJCAA remains steadfast in its commitment and dedication to its mission.

To more efficiently fight the war on poverty, the Community Action Program Executive Director's Association of New Jersey (CAPEDA) was born in 1971, and later renamed the New Jersey Community Action Association (NJCAA). Located in Trenton, NJCAA is a
private, non-profit corporation created to coordinate and represent the efforts of
New Jersey's 25 CAAs. NJCAA provides training and technical assistance and
advises these organizations of important state and federal activities. NJCAA
promotes networking and collaboration among CAAs and other organizations
which share a common goal - to improve the quality of life for New Jersey's
low-income and disadvantaged residents.

NJCAA is governed by an executive committee made up of directors from member agencies and is funded in part by the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG), as apportioned by the New Jersey Division of Community Affairs (DCA).

As advocates for CAAs/LPAs and their clients, NJCAA remains steadfast in its commitment and dedication to improving the quality of life for New
Jersey's poor and disadvantaged residents - approximately 10 percent of the
state's population.
