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 200 three-to-five-year-old Somerville 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.
