The Action Council of Monterey County is a nonprofit organization founded in 1994 to address unmet needs of low-income residents following welfare reform. It has evolved into a hub for social innovation, incubation, and cross-sector collaboration in the region. Based in Salinas, California, it supports leaders, new ideas, emerging organizations, and collaborative action, working with funders, policymakers, and the community to drive change, and has incubated initiatives such as Building Healthy Communities and Mujeres en Accion. Building Healthy Communities Monterey County extends the original program to engage residents and develop leadership to achieve equitable outcomes in health, education, and economic opportunity across Monterey County, centering residents as assets and stakeholders. The initiative's expansion and name change reflect a broader regional focus and ongoing emphasis on community voice in policy and decision-making.
