Evang Community Action

Evang Community Action is a non-profit organization registered in SAM.gov since October 2009, located in Ville Platte, Louisiana. As a tax-exempt corporate entity, the organization focuses on community development and support services for low-income populations. While specific details about the organization's founding or mission statement are not provided in the available documentation, the federal grant award history suggests a strong commitment to addressing community needs, particularly in areas of housing, youth development, and poverty reduction.

The organization has received federal grant awards primarily through the Louisiana Workforce Commission and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Its most significant recent award is a $1,000,000 Cooperative Agreement from HUD's Older Adults Home Modification Grant Program, targeting lead-based paint hazard reduction in low-income housing where children under six reside. Previous sub-grant awards demonstrate a diverse range of community support activities, including youth development programs, community coordination efforts, and COVID-19 response initiatives. These grants, typically from the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) program, focus on objectives such as removing obstacles to self-sufficiency, securing employment, improving education, providing emergency assistance, and supporting low-income families. The sub-awards have addressed various needs including youth intervention, family support, energy assistance, food distribution, and pandemic-related support services like rental assistance, distance learning support, and mental health services.
