RI Community Action Association

The Rhode Island Community Action Association (RICAA) is a trade association for a statewide network of Community Action Agencies (CAAs) who, for over fifty years, have been the safety net for economically disadvantaged and working individuals and families. Independently and collectively the CAAs are working to eliminate the causes and effects of poverty and to open doors to self-sufficiency and better lives for more than 200,000 Rhode Island households annually.

We are committed to empowering individuals and families to help themselves, as we have for over fifty years of fighting the war on poverty. Rhode Island’s Community Action Agencies’ programs and services consist of more than 800,000 services provided annually. A network of CAA Agencies we have a proven capacity to address community needs with dedication and creativity. We understand the root causes of poverty and continue to be steadfast in our commitment to helping people and changing lives in all of Rhode Island’s communities.
