The Community Action Partnership (CAP) is a national anti-poverty movement that began in 1964 with President Johnson’s war on poverty. The CAP supports a wide variety of programs and strategies, which help individuals and families overcome the effects of poverty and improve their economic situations. Snohomish County has been a designated Community Action Agency (CAA) since 1986. Today, Snohomish County is one of three public CAAs in Washington.
