In 1984 it expanded into Jasper, Newton and Tyler counties. In 2001, we expanded all services except Head Start into Harrison, Panola and Upshur counties. Over the years the organization has continued to fight the debilitation effects of poverty through many innovative programs. During this time, the local communities have remained actively supportive of Tri-County. The promise of Community Action is to change people’s lives, embody the spirit of hope and improve communities, and to make America a better place to live. We care about the entire community, and we are dedicated to helping people help themselves and each other. Local residents serve on the Board of Directors Policy Councils, as well as volunteer their time, skills and goods and services to help Tri-County be successful. Tri-County works closely with other service agencies in the area to ensure coordination of referrals and services. Currently Tri-County administers four major programs, and maintains a staff of one hundred sixty (160) employees. A 18-member Board of Directors overseas the agency. We consider ourselves to be an agency directed by concerned citizens working for concerned communities.
