Sometimes, stability begins with having someone willing to help you navigate the process.
In 2025, a man in his early 60s reached out to Anoka County Community Action Program after losing his job and falling behind on rent and utilities. He no longer had health insurance and wasn’t sure where to start.
Through ACCAP’s Senior Outreach and Crisis Assistance programs, he was connected to subsidized housing, Energy Assistance, MNsure, moving support, and other critical community resources.
Today, he says he feels happier, more stable, and less overwhelmed in his new environment.
Community Action is about more than meeting immediate needs. It’s about helping people move from crisis to stability — and creating pathways toward long-term self-sufficiency.
Across Minnesota, Community Action Agencies are delivering local solutions that create real impact for individuals, families, and communities.
