ORGANIZATION DESCRIPTION:



The Community Training and Assistance Center (CTAC) is a minority-controlled organization with a thirty-two year record of success in low-income communities. CTAC provides technical assistance to school systems, state departments of education, and community-based organizations to improve education, health, and community and neighborhood revitalization in cities and states throughout the country. There are three primary components to this support: on-site technical assistance, research and evaluation services, and public policy support.



CTAC's community development team provides community-based groups with training and assistance to manage responsive organizations, to organize communities and to develop effective services and advocacy based on resident or constituent-identified needs. CTAC particularly focuses on efforts that develop and implement resident or constituent-led models that create systemic and institutional change and address root causes of poverty through community organizing. CTAC provides support to build the organizational and development capacity of emerging and experienced organizations and coalitions in low income and multi-racial communities; implement effective public/private partnerships; and strengthen the capacity of nonprofit and governmental systems.



CTAC is particularly sensitive to the needs of disenfranchised communities. In response to the severity of problems confronting low-income communities, CTAC continues to respond to the increasing needs of the most severely disenfranchised low-income groups concerned with neighborhood revitalization, economic development, education, immigration, workers' rights, youth, environmental justice, human rights, health and human services, and other issues.
