Comprehensive Community Action Program

Description:

In December of 1965, Cranston Community Action Program was incorporated. At that time CCAP served Cranston, Coventry, Scituate and Foster. As many of our programs grew to include cities and towns outside that catchment area, they decided to change their name. In September of 1994 we officially became Comprehensive Community Action, but still CCAP.

CCAP is one of Rhode Island's largest organizations dedicated solely to fighting the war on poverty. Their professional staff provides a wide spectrum of services designed to help those in immediate need and empower anyone desiring to become more self-sufficient. They want to empower all people and communities, challenged by poverty as well as social and cultural barriers, through advocacy, education, and access to high quality health and human services.

Services they provide include: family health services (medical, dental, behavioral health and WIC) , family development (case management and care coordination), Child Development (Head Start and child care for children birth to 5 years old), youth education and job training (work readiness and job placement for youth 14-24), Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA; income-eligible individuals can get help filing their taxes); and social service programs (fuel and rental assistance, weatherization and LeadSafe, financial education, affordable housing, food bank and more).
