Community Action Partnership of Hennepin County

Mission

Community Action Partnership of Hennepin County (CAP-HC) is an anti-poverty nonprofit. Our mission is to partner with community to provide effective and responsive services to reduce the impact of poverty in Hennepin County. Through our broad range of crisis and prosperity services, CAP-HC helps people build stability and lift themselves out of poverty. Each year, CAP-HC serves thousands of families; about 70% of those families are from communities of color.

Poverty is a complex issue that requires multi-faceted solutions. At CAP-HC, we take a holistic, community-centered approach to our anti-poverty work. We start by asking our community what their needs are. Then we implement programs and build partnerships that help people address those needs and lift themselves out of poverty. Our suite of more than a dozen programs includes crisis services like Emergency Rental Assistance and Energy Assistance. And it also includes prosperity services like Employment Readiness and Homebuyer Services.
