The mission of AEOA is to strengthen communities by providing opportunities for people experiencing social and economic challenges.

The Arrowhead Economic Opportunity Agency (AEOA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established as a Community Action Program (CAP) for Cook, Lake, and St. Louis Counties in response to the 1964 Economic Opportunity Act. AEOA offers services to community members across 12 counties through six service departments including Employment and Training; Head Start; Housing Resources; Housing Services; Senior and Nutrition Services; and Arrowhead Transit. Not all AEOA programs are offered in all of these counties. Community Action comes out of President Lyndon B. Johnson's War on Poverty and from the advocacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In 1964, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Economic Opportunity Act, declaring a "war on poverty." Community officials, service providers, schools, and neighbors came together to plan and implement programs and services to help low-income people and called it "Community Action." AEOA is one of 1,000 Community Action Agencies across the county who together strive to live up to the promise of our founding.

🎉 What an inspiring day for housing in Northeast Minnesota! 🎉

More than 150 housing advocates, community leaders, service providers, and partners, including members of our AEOA team, gathered today at the Minnesota Discovery Center for the Northeast Minnesota Regional Housing Forum, hosted by Minnesota Housing

We were especially proud to see our Housing Supervisor, Becky Scorich, serve as a panelist for "Community Voices, Community Solutions: Addressing Housing Together." Becky shared her expertise and insights on homelessness and housing challenges, contributing to important conversations about building stronger housing solutions across our region.

At AEOA, we are proud to be part of these collaborative efforts to expand affordable housing opportunities, address barriers to stability, and connect individuals and families with the resources they need to thrive. Events like this remind us of what is possible when communities come together with a shared commitment to ensuring everyone has access to safe, stable, and affordable housing.
