Community Services Agency

OUR MISSION

Empower individuals and families to become self-sufficient through advocacy, results-based programs and community partnerships in Northern Nevada.

Community Services Agency (CSA) is a private, nonprofit Community Action Agency (CAA) governed by a local, tripartite 12-15 member, volunteer Board of Directors consisting of representation from the public, private, and low-income sectors. Board members contribute to the strategy and mission of the organization and collaborate on developing responses to local needs.

CSA is one of more than 1,000 CAAs throughout the U.S. and one of 13 in Nevada that work as federally-designated organizations designed to implement innovative programs and activities to eliminate poverty and improve communities by being responsive to the unique needs of the particular community. This work is done in collaboration with a variety of partners, representing local, state and federal governments, as well as community and advocacy groups, policymakers and low-income leaders.
