Community Action Networks

Community Action Networks (CANs) are collaborative groups of local stakeholders—such as residents, organizations, and government agencies—working together to identify and address shared issues within a community. They facilitate open communication, coordinate resources, and implement initiatives to improve living conditions, support economic development, and promote social well-being. By leveraging collective knowledge and efforts, CANs empower communities to create sustainable, positive change that reflects the unique needs and priorities of their residents.
