Anti-Poverty Board Membership

AC-OCAP is currently accepting membership applications for CDBG Oakland District 1 and two Alameda County community seats.

AC-OCAP Administering Board members are responsible for planning, developing, and executing the local Community Action Plan for alleviating poverty and working toward institutional change to enhance the ability of low-income residents to achieve self-sufficiency in Oakland and throughout Alameda County (excluding the City of Berkeley). AC-OCAP's priority focus areas are family self-sufficiency, entrepreneurship/job training and employment placement, low-income housing, community economic development, supportive services, civic engagement, advocacy, and capacity building.

The Administering Board meets on the second Monday of every month at 5:30pm at City Hall. Community board members are eligible to receive reimbursement for costs associated with participation, including childcare and transportation.

Please refer to the area-specific materials below to apply. Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until seats are filled.
