Community Action Partnership of San Diego County
About San Diego County’s Community Action Partnership
San Diego County’s Community Action Partnership (CAP) is the region’s Community Action Agency. Established in 1964 as part of the Economic Opportunity Act, Community Action Agencies help people to help themselves in achieving self-sufficiency. San Diego County’s CAP administers programs for low-income individuals, families and communities that promote the vision of Live Well San Diego to improve the health, safety and quality of life for all county residents.
CAP is administratively located under the Health and Human Services Agency, Office of Strategy and Innovation of the County of San Diego. CAP administers the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) and Refugee Employment Services (RES) allocations for the San Diego region.
Vision:
"Community action changes people's lives, embodies the spirit of hope, improves communities, and makes America a better place to live. We care about the entire community and we are dedicated to helping people help themselves and each other."
Mission:
"To empower economically disadvantaged individuals and families, including refugees, to achieve their highest level of self-sufficiency and well-being."
Community Action Board: The Community Action Board (CAB) advises the San Diego County Board of Supervisors and the Health and Human Services Agency concerning CAP programs.
