CAAP 23rd Self-Sufficiency Awards
Until 2019, each fall CAAP hosted an in-person Self-Sufficiency Awards (SSA) Ceremony. Held virtually for 2021, it continues as a celebration of our client’s hard work reaching financial self-sufficiency and honors the hard work of PA Community Action from around the Commonwealth.

The Self-Sufficiency Awards By Year
The following client success stories illustrate how barriers to self-sufficiency can be overcome when individuals accept the challenge of pursuing the opportunities provided by their Community Action Agency. Each year, the Community Action Association of Pennsylvania’s Self-Sufficiency Awards recognize the significant accomplishments of the award winners while showcasing how Community Action Agencies support an individual’s path toward self-sufficiency.
These stories reveal the focused determination and exceptional deeds of those who have faced their own personal journey back to self-sufficiency, head-on.
