Community Action Agencies: Strengthening Ohio’s Communities
Commissioned by the Ohio Association of Community Action Agencies, the goal of this project was to identify, document, and assess exemplary practices in community economic development initiatives initiated by or in partnership with Ohio’s Community Action Agencies. Through analysis of reporting data and 35 interviews with agency administrators, the Voinovich School developed an Executive Summary, emphasizing innovative strategies by community action agencies, a Technical Report detailing 25 case studies of exemplary programs, and a Community Economic Development Toolkit to help promote exemplary economic development practices in all community action agencies.
