About / Mission
CAAS’s Community Organizing & Advocacy program takes a systematic approach to advancing CAAS’s mission by working with residents to eliminate the root causes of economic injustice. We are dedicated to empowering Somerville residents who are the most oppressed from accessing power: low-income residents, renters, people of color, immigrants and refugees, non-English speakers, seniors, people with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ folks.
Our work centers on the housing justice movement — the struggle to make housing a human right for all people, regardless of background — and our tenant leaders are those who are experiencing Somerville’s affordable housing crisis first-hand.
