exists to strengthen the educational, social and economic well-being of individuals and families as they transition to independence and self-sufficiency.

As the brainchild of President Lyndon B. Johnson, the 1964 Economic Opportunity Act authorized the establishment of Community Action Agencies to combat conditions related to poverty. In 1964, the Houston Action for Youth Organization began operation and the following year the Houston-Harris County Economic Opportunity Organization was formed. In 1969, these two organizations were merged to become Harris County Community Action Association, predecessor of today’s Gulf Coast Community Services Association. GCCSA has administered hundreds of millions of dollars in public funding and has served over half a million low-income families during its 50 year history. GCCSA has established itself as one of the most experienced community service providers in the Gulf Coast Region.

For more than four decades, Gulf Coast Community Services Association (GCCSA) has been on the front lines of the battlefield to reduce poverty and build economic independence in Harris County. But GCCSA knows we can’t accomplish our mission without your support. The mission to end poverty has been a national objective since the Lyndon Baines Johnson administration—our nation’s growth depends on it. Consequently, we must work hard; we must work together and we must work unceasingly to build a better tomorrow. Although Community Action Agency’s (CAA) were created to foster this comprehensive approach to the problem, it will take the entire village to solve it. In jest, I often say, “It takes a village to be the CEO of the largest CAA in the state of Texas,” but there is a great deal of truth that resonates in that statement. As long as poverty persists in Houston’s communities, we have a problem. Considering the vicissitudes that could possibly cause turbulence in our lives: unemployment, illiteracy, mental illness, homelessness, sub-prime mortgages, and limited access to early child care that are constant obstacles causing us to capsize, it is imperative that community leaders proactively steer a course that is promising. We must be response-able, and we must rally around the un-served and underserved in the community. Without your active involvement, our task of ending poverty and building economic independence would be even more daunting and challenging. Excellence at GCCSA is the standard, not the goal. In the wake of enormous cuts to critical programs that build and strengthen the community, the GCCSA team has risen to the occasion. … for if not GCCSA, then will advocate for the poor? Who will be responsible for mobilizing resources to assist low-income people? Who will serve as the by helping people help themselves? Who will coordinate services and fill gaps left between other service providers? !!! In this Annual Report, you will see how effectively and efficiently the team of GCCSA employees, along with numerous stakeholders, conducted quality programs, served historically unmet needs, managed the financial resources and achieved results in order to erect a more stable future for Texas. Our work and dedication are grounded in helping people and changing lives. Thank you for your continued support of our purpose and the promise to eradicate poverty and build economic independence! Yours truly,

Dr. Jonita “J” Reynolds Chief Executive Officer

Here at GCCSA, we believe that our Head Start/ Early Head Start parents are the first and most important educators of their children. Parent involvement is a core value at Head Start and Early Head Start. We invite our parents to be integrally involved in the education of their children by volunteering in the classroom, attending parent meetings, serving on an advisory committee, and making decisions about the Head Start/ Early Head Start program in the parent committees. Parents can also be elected to serve on our Policy Council—an opportunity to participate in shared decision-making about the Head Start/ Early Head Start program. Our Center Administrators have a host of ways our parents can be involved! Head Start and Early Head Start are comprehensive, child development programs that serve children from birth to five, pregnant women and their families. Each program is a child-focused program that has the overall goal of increasing the readiness of young children. We believe in partnering with parents and guardians to ensure that all of the needs of their children, our children, as well as all members of the families, are met. We remain excited throughout the school year educating our community, as we provide comprehensive, high quality services to the children and their families. Here at Gulf Coast Community Services Association, excellence is our only option . . .

Our children and our families deserve nothing less! We appreciate the opportunity to serve our families!

GCCSA Head Start/ Early Head Start is focused on meeting our children’s nutritional needs and establishing good eating habits. The Head Start & Early Head Start program provides each child with a free nutritional breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack, sponsored by the Department of Agriculture’s Child Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). Head Start & Early Head Start emphasizes the role that CACFP plays in promoting lifelong healthy eating and physical habits in children. The primary goal of the CACFP is to serve nutritious meals to children attending the Head Start & Early Head Start program. Secondary goals are: 1) establish positive eating habits at the earliest stages of development; 2) reduce future health care and education costs due to lack of proper early development; and 3) train and support Head Start/ Early Head Start staff. Head Start & Early Head Start children are benefited by being fed nutritious USDA regulated meals that ensure their proper development. These children gain from early nutrition education that helps them establish positive eating habits that will enrich the quality of their diet throughout their lives.

On behalf of the thousands who walk through our doors yearly, we say thank you to our Community Partners. We, the stakeholders (children, employees, board, policy council, funding sources, legislators, clients, parents, and volunteers), are indebted to our Community Partners who have generously contributed to our mission to strengthen the educational, social and economic well-being of our children, youth, seniors, adults, and the whole of Harris County. Without the support of local businesses, banking partners, individuals, independent school districts, faith communities, community organizations, financiers, and institutions of higher learning alike, Gulf Coast Community Services Association, Inc. could not make a difference in the lives of so many Harris County residents. With their aid, GCCSA has been able to make an indelible mark on the lives of millions over the past forty seven (47) years. Contributions from Community Partners come in many forms—inkind donations, special pricing, large financial donations, and volunteerism—and are each of extraordinary value to us and our community. Together, we are building a better community, and for that, we are eternally grateful.

Your support is invaluable!
