The Pima County Board of Supervisors meeting on May 20, 2025, highlighted the importance of Community Action Month and recognized the significant contributions of the Pima County Community Action Agency. During the meeting, a representative expressed gratitude to the Board and County administration for their support in honoring the agency's work over the past four decades.
The Community Action Agency has played a crucial role in delivering essential services aimed at alleviating poverty, including eviction prevention and rental and utility assistance. Despite challenges posed by the pandemic and ongoing funding uncertainties, the agency remains committed to serving over 10,000 community members across all districts in Pima County. This effort is supported by collaboration with more than 20 community organizations.
The speaker emphasized the often thankless nature of this work, driven by a collective commitment to uplift individuals and families from poverty. The Community Action Advisory Board was also acknowledged for its dedication to ensuring that constituents, particularly in rural areas, have access to vital services and advocacy for life-saving programs.
The meeting concluded with a call to action, urging increased funding to improve the lives of those with limited income and resources. The proclamation for Community Action Month aims to raise awareness and inspire further support for the agency's mission of enhancing the quality of life for all residents in Pima County.
