and goals include: 

*	Impact policy formation and implementation of programs that
affect the poor; 
*	Raise public awareness of the problems of the poor and the local
nature of Community Action Programs; 
*	Foster effective relationships with other groups who share
common concerns; 
*	Maximize resources to address the causes and conditions of
poverty; and 
*	Provide an on-going avenue for personal and professional
development. 

``Anyone who has ever struggled with poverty knows how extremely
expensive it is to be poor. '' 

- James Baldwin 1924-87
