Services

CAAS offers two major programs to residents of Somerville: Head Start and Advocacy.

The Head Start Program provides education, health, nutrition, special needs, and social services for over 360 three-to-five-year-old Somerville and Cambridge children and their families.

The Advocacy Program addresses tenants' rights, racial discrimination and harassment, newcomer issues, welfare policy questions, affordable housing issues, and the needs of at-risk immigrant youth.
