ABOUT SCHUYLKILL COMMUNITY ACTION

Schuylkill Community Action (SCA) has been a cornerstone of support for low-income residents of Schuylkill County since its founding in 1965. Originally known as "The Economic Opportunity Cabinet of Schuylkill County," the agency emerged from a merger between two community action programs operated by the City of Pottsville and Schuylkill County. On July 1, 2000,

the agency officially adopted its current name, reflecting its continued commitment to empowering individuals and families to achieve self-sufficiency. SCA was established under the Federal Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, signed by President Lyndon B. This act laid the foundation for Community Action Agencies across the country, emphasizing active citizen participation in designing and implementing federally funded local programs. Since then, the landscape of federal support has evolved, including the creation of the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) in 1981, ensuring that vital resources continue to be administered at the state level in support of local initiatives. OUR MISSION

Our mission is "to focus all available resources on low-income Schuylkill County residents, empowering them to achieve self-sufficiency." SCA offers a broad range of services to help individuals and families overcome barriers and build sustainable paths forward. Our goal is not only to address immediate needs but to foster long-term solutions that break the cycle of poverty. Whether it is accessing affordable housing, building financial literacy, or improving food and energy security, SCA remains steadfast in its commitment to stability, opportunity, and resilience for all.
