Utah Community Action was founded in 1965 to meet the needs of the community, especially individuals experiencing poverty. The mission of Utah Community Action is to empower individuals, strengthen families, and build communities through education and self-reliance programs. We do this through six core programs: Workforce Development, Head Start preschool, HEAT Utility Assistance, Housing & Case Management, Home Weatherization and Nutrition. Each year, Utah Community Action provides these services to approximately 50,000 children and families in our community, giving them the tools needed to attain and sustain self-reliance.
