Mission & History

Wayne Metropolitan Community Action Agency (Wayne Metro CAA) was incorporated in January 1971 and is a community leader in providing services to low-income people and families living in the 42 Wayne County communities that surround the City of Detroit. This area is referred to as Out-Wayne County.

As one of approximately 1,000 Community Action Agencies nationwide and 30 in Michigan, Wayne Metro CAA keeps the promise of Community Action. Community Action changes people’s lives, embodies the spirit of hope, and improves communities. We care about the entire community, and we are dedicated to helping people help themselves and each other.

A dynamic, mission-driven organization, Wayne Metro is at an exciting time in its evolution. Through a strategic planning process launched in March 2009, the agency developed a modified mission statement to reflect the growth of the organization. Wayne Metro’s mission is to empower low-income people and strengthen communities through diverse services, leadership, and collaboration.

Wayne Metro CAA operates four wholly-owned subsidiaries that were responsible for 12% of the agency’s revenues in 2011. These successful ventures contribute to the overall stability of the agency and provide a reliable revenue stream for agency programs to ensure that Wayne Metro can be most responsive to community needs.

The subsidiaries are:• ExcellentConstruction,LLC:abuilderanddeveloper• BiddleManagement,LLC:acontractmanagementandprogramsupportcompany• PaczkiProperties,LLC:apropertyholdingcompany• RauppLDHA:TheLimitedDividendHousingAssociationforRauppSupportiveHousing

sluggish economy and persistent unemployment show no signs

of significant improvement in the near future, demonstrating

the need for Wayne Metropolitan Community Action Agency’s

programs and services.

With these facts, our services are in demand more than ever,

and we have faced the challenge head on this year, helping

thousands of our neighborhoods with not only their basic

needs, but most important, providing programs and services

that promote long-term economic sustainability. We are proud

to work with our many talented community partners that

have helped us expand services, provide referrals and rebuild

communities.

who have reached out to our agency for a hand up and how

Nahida Akther understands the importance of education and being a good role model for her children. Nahida was born and attended school through grade teninBangladeshbeforecomingtotheUnitedStates.Shortlyafter the birth of her second child, Nahida enrolled in Wayne Metro’sEvenStartProgramwiththegoalofgettingherGED.

On the first day of the program, Nahida was shy and hesitant to talk to others. However,shequicklyrealizedthather peers had similar challenges andgoals.“WhenIrealizedeveryoneislikeme,Istartedtoenjoy it [the class].”

WhileattendingtheEvenStartProgram,Nahidaalsobrought her infant son, Abrar for childcare. While it was difficult for Nahida to separate from Abrar, it became easier for Nahida as she began participatinginParent-Childactivities. Through the program’s Parent-ChildInteractiveLiteracyActivities, Nahida learned how

to empower her son to become independent. Abrar also made significant gains in his learning and is now ready to enter pre-school. With her older daughter TahsininWayneMetro’sHeadStartprogramatthesametime,Nahida also built her confidence to engage with Tahsin’s teachers and ask about ways that she could support her daughter’s learning at home. Now a first-grade student, Tahsin excels amongstherpeers.Placingahigh value on education, Nahida and her husband never failed to attend a school-wide family event.

InpreparationforherGED,Nahida struggled with writing. WiththemotivationofEvenStartStaff,Nahidademonstratedtremendous determination and continuously practiced writing essays. Nahida’s confidence grew with every essay she wrote until she felt comfortable taking the writtenportionoftheGEDExam.“EvenStarthelpedme.Theyarelike family.”

WhentheEvenStartProgram’sfundingwasdiscontinued in the spring of 2011, Nahida persevered. With the support of her husband, Nahida continued to work hard to study andpracticefortheGEDexamwithout the assistance of the program.

When Nahida received the letter that she had passed the GED,shewasoverjoyed.“IfIam educated, my children will bewell-educated.IfIwasnotinEvenStart,Iwouldnotbeable show them how important education is” she explains.

While participating in the EvenStartProgram,NahidaalsoobtainedherU.S.citizenshipand learned to drive. Nahida is looking forward to going to college next year after the birth ofherthirdchild.“BecauseofEvenStart,mylifehaschanged”Nahidasays.“Ilearnedalot.HowcanIthankyou?Idon’tknow.Ijustreallyappreciatetheprogram.”

History of Community Action

The concept of community action was initially pioneered in 1961 byPresidentJohnF.Kennedythroughtheintroductionofthe“NewFrontier.” This initiative brought together local officials, service providers, andneighborstoaddressjuveniledelinquencyinaneffectiveandinexpensivemanner.BuildingonthesuccessofJFK’sprogram,activistsbegan recruiting people from all community sectors to plan and implement programs that would help lift people out of poverty. The core principle of these projects was the whole community working together to improve conditions for the disenfranchised.

PresidentLyndonB.JohnsonexpandedthepolicyideasinitiatedduringtheKennedyadministration.InhisStateoftheUnionmessagetoCongressinJanuary,1964,PresidentJohnsondeclared:“Letuscarryforward the plans and programs of John F.
