Tempe Community Action Agency (TCAA) is a nonprofit organization serving as a regional social services hub addressing food security, housing stability, health and well-being, and economic mobility in East Valley communities. TCAA's highly regarded programs benefit more than 35,000 individuals annually.
Building Resilience
Since 1966, TCAA has stood as more than a human services organization; it has served as a source of hope and a vital partner to East Valley businesses, public and private organizations, and neighborhoods in their time of need.
The Building Resilience campaign will fuel our capacity to help vulnerable individuals and families achieve their greatest potential.
The campaign is building an East Valley regional hub for human services. The new space will feature green technologies, all-inclusive and trauma-informed design elements, and be fully accessible. The new hub builds on the nearly 60 years of TCAA' s service to local neighborhoods while expanding to meet the everchanging and growing needs of our diverse East Valley communities.
The campaign will create a single integrated environment with a comprehensive array of programs and services on-site. Participants will be able to move on an accelerated path from crisis to stability, and ultimately to resilience.
