About Community Action Partnership
Community Action Partnership is an organization that provides technical assistance, training, and other resources to Community Action Agencies, nonprofit and public groups funded by the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG), a federal program that allocates funding to states to connect Americans to greater opportunity. We embody our nation’s spirit of hope, change people’s lives, and improve communities. When national, state and local leaders tap into these agencies’ experience, they can promote workable solutions that connect more families to opportunity – and make America a better place to live for everyone.
OUR MISSION
To ensure the causes and conditions of poverty are effectively addressed and to strengthen, promote, represent, and serve the Community Action Network.
OUR PROMISE
Community Action changes people’s lives, embodies the spirit of hope, improves communities, and makes America a better place to live. We care about the entire community, and we are dedicated to helping people help themselves and each other.
Assessment
Every two years CAP Riverside conducts a comprehensive Community Needs Assessment throughout Riverside County by gathering information and data (qualitative and quantitative) from community members, community-based and faith-based organizations, public and private sectors, educational institutions, etc. The analyzed results of this assessment, which identifies priority needs of low-income individuals and families in Riverside County, and gaps in resources to meet these needs, form a foundation for developing the goals and strategies inherent in CAP Riverside’s two-year Community Action Plan and five-year Strategic Plan.
Planning
CAP Riverside creates a Community Action Plan every two years in its accountability to the California Department of Community Services and Development (CSD) for its federal Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) funding. The Community Needs Assessment is included as an essential component of the Community Action Plan.
