Our Leadership Core
MCCSA is governed by
an eighteen member Board of Directors that
equally represents the public, private, and
poor community sectors of the original six
chartered counties. Public and private
members are appointed by the entities they
represent, whereas those members
representative of the poor are
democratically elected in community
meetings. MCCSA's Board of Directors,
administrators and staff remain committed to
providing quality programs and services in
an effort to end the cycle of poverty and
promote self-sufficiency in the lives of low
income persons.
We've Grown
MCCSA's original
charter counties included Clarke, Jasper,
Kemper, Lauderdale, Newton and Wayne. More
recently under the auspices of the
Mississippi Department of Human Services
Community Services Division, MCCSA's service
area has been expanded to include the
Community Service Block Grant, Low Income
Home Energy Assistance Program and
Weatherization services to residents of
Neshoba, Scott and Smith counties. MCCSA has
also extended its Adolescent Offender
program services to Covington, Scott and
Smith counties.
