Kauai Planning & Action Alliance, Inc. (KPAA) provides a forum to the community on issues that matter most to Kauai. The organization serves as a neutral convener and facilitator, working with action teams and committees to develop and implement solutions to Kauai's priority issues.

KPAA is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) membership organization, offering community groups, nonprofits, government and businesses opportunities to work collaboratively. The organization's work is guided by the community vision included in the Kauai General Plan 2000.

Community volunteers work together on selected goals to help achieve the vision. Currently, KPAA goals focus on park improvements, growth management tools, planning for Kauai's sustainability, and community indicators. New projects will be added soon, with a focus on affordable housing, traffic mitigation and transportation alternatives.
