The North Dakota Community Action Association was created to help provide support to improve living standards of people within the area. The North Dakota Community Action Association aims at combating poverty among low income families and people.

The North Dakota Community Action Association is a non-profit private organization with operation all over the state of North Dakota. The association was established in 1976. The association seeks to use resources from local, federal, state and private sources to help empower people to achieve self sufficiency.

The North Dakota Community Action Association is made up of seven community action agencies. They all engage in services and programs to assist low income earners to become empowered and self reliant. The seven communities are based on the seven regions and all 53 counties of the state of North Dakota.

The North Dakota Community Action Association was created by the 1964 Economic opportunity Act. The Act made it possible to create community based action agencies to tackle poverty within the US.

The North Dakota Community Action Association assesses local needs and creates programs and enters into partnership with their organizations to tackle poverty and its causes. The Community Agencies are run by boards comprised of representative from the private sector, elected officials and some low level income residents of the community.
