ADVOCAP is a Community Action Agency (CAA), part of a nationwide network of local nonprofits that help people overcome the challenges of poverty and empower them to build better, more stable lives. CAAs provide essential services like housing support, early childhood education, energy assistance, and employment training. They’re funded by a mix of federal, state, and local grants, with the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) as their core funding. What makes CAAs unique is their community-driven approach — local people, including those living with low incomes, help guide the programs to ensure they truly meet the needs of their neighbors.
