Community Action PartnershipThe CAP was established in 1964 during President Johnson’s “War on Poverty.” CAP funding today is drawn down through Community Services Block Grants (CSBG). The CAP is designated by the County Board of Supervisors to specifically provide a focal point to coordinate and plan for the provision of community services that support, assist, and empower low-income people and to improve their quality of life. The CAP engages in three major activities to achieve this mission: contracting with nonprofit and public agencies for services – allocating $475,000 annually, collaborating with community stakeholders, and educational community activities.
