The Community Action Council is a nonprofit organization focused on addressing the root causes of poverty in central Kentucky. It serves Lexington-Fayette, Bourbon, Harrison, and Nicholas counties as the designated community action agency for the region. The organization concentrates its resources on programs that support child and youth development, family development toward social and economic self-sufficiency, employment strategies, health, transportation, safety net services, housing, economic development, technology, and volunteerism to help individuals and families become self-sufficient. It notes its role within the ongoing effort to reduce poverty and build a livable community, including reflections on the War on Poverty’s 50th anniversary. Based in Lexington, Kentucky, the council operates as a regional nonprofit focused on improving opportunities for residents across the four counties it serves. In June 2026, it partnered with Chelan PUD to provide in-person assistance for customers who lack internet access or are uncomfortable navigating online applications.
