The Central Missouri Community Action (CMCA) website is a comprehensive resource designed to assist individuals and families in overcoming poverty and achieving self-reliance. It provides a wide range of services aimed at combating homelessness, including affordable housing options, energy assistance programs, early childhood programs, and community development initiatives. The CMCA's approach is based on the belief that to significantly reduce homelessness, it is essential to address not only the immediate issue of shelter, but also the underlying causes of homelessness, such as lack of education, job training, and healthcare.
