The Community Action Agency of South Alabama is a non-profit organization located in Daphne, Alabama, registered in SAM.gov since March 2009, with a corporate tax-exempt structure focused on community support and social services. As a non-profit organization, the agency primarily receives federal grant awards to deliver critical assistance programs targeting low-income populations across southern Alabama. The organization is dedicated to addressing poverty, improving community welfare, and providing essential support services to vulnerable populations, with a particular emphasis on early childhood education, family services, and energy assistance.

The agency has received multiple federal grant awards and sub-awards, predominantly from the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Head Start. Its most significant prime federal grant is a $1,750,977 Head Start and Early Head Start Project Grant, effective from June 2025 through May 2030, which supports comprehensive early childhood education and family services for low-income children. The agency's sub-grant awards include numerous programs such as the Weatherization Assistance Program, Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), and Community Service Block Grant. These grants focus on critical areas like reducing energy costs for low-income households, assisting eligible households with home energy and drinking water services, ameliorating poverty causes, and providing emergency supplemental funding for energy-related crisis support. The sub-grants primarily partner with the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs to implement these vital community assistance initiatives.
