Community Action Partnership of Hennepin County

Community Action Partnership of Hennepin County CAP-HC connects people to resources that help them stabilize and lift themselves out of poverty.

Community Action Partnership of Hennepin County (CAP-HC) is a 501(c)(3), non-profit organization that helps people with low income navigate crisis situations, build stability, and lift themselves out of poverty. By listening to our community, we address the immediate needs of community members and help them on their path to prosperity. Our Mission
Partner with community to provide effective and re

sponsive services to reduce the impact of poverty in Hennepin County. Our Work
Established in 1986, CAP-HC creates services, programs, and partnerships that serve Hennepin County's residents with lower incomes. These resources address the specific factors that cause and reinforce poverty in Hennepin County, increase economic stability, and empower individuals and families to become self-sufficient. For many, CAP-HC is their last stop before power and heat disconnection, foreclosure, homelessness, or bankruptcy. For others, it's a place to learn how to buy a home, create a budget, or find a job. By listening to our community, creating thoughtful programming, and nimbly responding as needs change, we're building a stronger, more equitable Hennepin County.

Earlier this month, Minnesota, Minneapolis, and Hennepin County acknowledged May as Community Action Month. We're honored that our 40th Anniversary was also acknowledged in the Minneapolis and Hennepin County proclamations. Dr. Hightower, Executive Director at CAP-HC, was present to receive the official proclamations from the City Council of Minneapolis and from the Hennepin County Commissioners.
We are so grateful for the local policy makers who support CAP-HC's vision of Hennepin County without poverty.
