Find Your CAA
Since 1992, the Rhode Island Community Action Association (RICAA) has been a catalyst for change and a vital part of a coordinated effort to eliminate poverty in our state. We are dedicated to assisting Rhode Islanders such as yourself, and bettering the accessibility of benefits and services offered to low-income and working Rhode Islanders.
The RI Access to Benefits was developed by the Rhode Island Community Action Association to provide a single, comprehensive, and “One Door” access resource to prescreen for potential eligibility to your local Community Action Agency (CAAs) for various services and programs.
Your information and message will serve as a helpful prescreen which will be referred to the Community Action Agency (CAA) which serves your area and local community. After review, you will be contacted by a member of the local agency to further assist you.
