Boulder County Community Action Programs (CAP) began in 1965 as part of President Lyndon Johnson’s “War on Poverty.” Today, CAP remains committed to empowering individuals and families with low incomes by providing programs that foster economic independence and long-term self-sufficiency. Through programming focused on leadership development, civic engagement, and building assets with IDA savings, CAP equips participants with the tools and resources needed to achieve long-term success.
