Fulton Atlanta Community Action Authority
The Fulton Atlanta Community Action Authority (FACAA) opened its doors in 1991 to provide a wide array of services to low-income individuals and families in Atlanta and Fulton County. Since its inception, FACAA has helped more than one million residents through the carefully planned administration of social services, advocacy and community education. We empower citizens to become self-sufficient by offering programs and services that enable individuals and families to emerge from economic despair, prevent homelessness and enhance educational goals for an improved quality of life.
The mission of the Fulton Atlanta Community Action Authority is just as relevant today as it was when we started and we passionately continue our work to make a positive impact in the community.
Mobilize resources through a network of programs and services: Emergency Financial Assistance (LIHEAP, Food and Housing Assistance, Employment Readiness Support, Transportation and Education) which is facilitated through applications and classes.
