MI SR0163

Designates May 2016 as Community Action Agency Month in Michigan to recognize the 52nd year of community action agencies in the United States since their establishment in 1964.

Michigan's 29 community action agencies provide wraparound services across all 83 counties, including early childhood education, Head Start, senior services, affordable housing, food assistance, energy assistance, financial literacy, and job training.

In 2015, Michigan community action agencies served 201,864 residents and generated over $438 million in economic activity through leveraging federal, state, local, and private funding sources.

Directs the Senate to transmit a copy of the resolution to the Michigan Community Action Agency Association in recognition of these organizations' contributions to combating poverty and improving living conditions for low-income citizens.
