Our mission is to empower and advocate for individuals and families in DeKalb, Gwinnett, Newton, and Rockdale counties to improve economic security and quality of life through case management and crisis intervention in partnership with the community.
Partnership for Community Action, Inc. is a private nonprofit agency born out of President Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty initiative. Mrs. Eva Jewell Greene, affectionately called Mother Greene, founded Partnership for Community Action, Inc. in 1966 after the passage of the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964. The organization was built on a foundation of the principles of equity, opportunity, and empowerment. PCA is dedicated to helping individuals and families overcome the barriers of poverty and move toward stability.
Through the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG), PCA administers a wide range of programs and service to meet the evolving needs of our community. The Family Support program provides personalized case management and wraparound services to help families set and achieve realistic goals. Through this program, we address barriers such as employment, housing stability, financial literacy, and other tailored needs, equipping families with the tools they need to thrive long-term. In addition to CSBG, PCA also offers energy assistance benefits through the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). This program ensures households are able to afford the basic necessity of home energy.
PCA partners with local governments, schools, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, and other stakeholders to ensure comprehensive, responsive service delivery. We believe real change happens when individuals are empowered, families are supports, and communities are engaged. Through professionalism, compassion, and accountability, we work daily to build strong, more resilient futures for the people we serve.
