Welcome to CAAS.
The mission of the Community Action Agency of
Somerville (CAAS) is to reduce poverty among local families and
individuals while working to counteract – and whenever possible,
eliminate – the societal conditions that cause and perpetuate poverty.
CAAS runs the Head Start program in Somerville and Cambridge. We help
Latino youth become community leaders and responsible adults. We assist
families and individuals to keep their homes and prevent homelessness.
We work with Somerville residents to obtain the help they need to
escape poverty and become economically self-sufficient.
