The Alameda County-Oakland Community Action Partnership was
established under the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 to fight
America's War on Poverty. Alameda County - Oakland Community Action
Partnership (AC-OCAP) is part of broad national and statewide network
of nearly 1,100 agencies, both non-profit private and public
organizations, that extend across the United States—all working to
eliminate poverty on a local and national level. CAP involves local
citizens in its effort to address specific barriers to achieving
self-sufficiency.
AC-OCAP is committed to reducing poverty by providing services and programs targeted to low-income individuals and families. AC-OCAP has been funding programs and projects in the low-income community since 1971.
