U-CAP Programs
Programs that strengthen communities
U-CAP is dedicated to developing and implementing programs aimed to support marginalized people and take lead on any efforts that will address factors contributing to families being unable to make ends meet and not having access to clean, healthy foods.
Understanding poverty
Different types of poverty include: Absolute: little to no income, Relative: low income, Situational: due to job loss, climate, jail, etc.
U-CAP responds to Generational, Rural, and Urban poverty through practical support, advocacy, and community-based resources designed to meet people where they are.
Program areas
Our programs focus on food access, home support, advocacy, education, and wellness so individuals and families can move forward with dignity and stability.

We help strengthen community food access by supporting the development of food banks that provide reliable, nutritious resources to individuals and families facing hunger.
Senior Home Support
We assist older adults with minor household chores and basic home repairs so they can remain safe, comfortable, and supported in their homes.

We provide advocacy and support services that help individuals and families navigate mental health challenges, including IEP mediation and related support.

Community Impact
