Our Vision
An Alliance across Southern California.
Community Action Partnership, CAP , is an Alliance of organizations across Southern California that have an interest in Re-entry efforts. Education, housing, drug treatment, expungement, job development and any resource that helps a returning citizen as they adjust back into the community.
The Alliance meets once a month in four different regions to report on their progress regarding the goals they set for the year. The goals that were set specifically target the many obstacles that are created for men and women returning back to their community.
