Marvin D. Cox, Program Director
The Community Programs division encompasses a variety of services for individuals and families with low incomes in Nashville and Davidson County. The Metropolitan Action Commission partners with families in poverty using a Whole Family/2Gen Approach. This approach meets the needs of both the child and the adult in their lives building a system of care around the entire family. Our programs and services break the cycle of poverty by addressing the root causes by increasing family economic security, educational success, and health and well-being from one generation to the next.
