History
The Agency has operated a wide variety of programs and
services since 1967, when it was incorporated as a
private, non-profit, charitable corporation under the
laws of the State of California. The Agency is governed
by a Board of Directors comprised of local leaders
representing the private, public, and low-income
sectors.

Present

Agency programs operate through several departments:

Housing & Community Development
Food & Nutrition
Esplanade House

Each department consists of various projects and programs
that enable low-income families and elderly to improve
their lives. A community assessment is conducted periodically
to ensure that use of resources is addressing priority issues.

Butte County is rich in natural beauty, recreation, education
and small industry, but is economically depressed. The poverty
rate in Butte County in 2003 was 15.8% with a much higher rate
in Oroville (33.1%) than Chico (26.6%) or Paradise (12.4%).
While incomes have improved for many, a large and growing
percentage of the population did not experience income gains
sufficient to escape poverty. Unemployment is typically higher
than the State average.

Fortunately, the communities within Butte County see the issues
from a broad perspective, helping others to seek self-sufficiency
through the pursuit of values, through expectations and through
the development of responsibility for oneself.
