Northeast was chartered as a Community Action Agency in May 1965 and dedicated to seek out and assist the neediest families in Carter, Elliott, Greenup, Lewis, Rowan and Morgan Counties. Several of these counties ranked as the lowest per capita income and highest unemployed counties in the State of Kentucky. The agency began with a core staff of seventeen and an initial grant of $95,000. After realignment to meet area development district boundaries, we now serve Boyd, Carter, Elliott, Greenup and Lawrence Counties.
