About The Company
In December of 1965, Cranston Community Action Program (CCAP) was incorporated as a Community Action Agency under the Economic Community Act and was charged to mobilize all resources toward the elimination of poverty and to provide participation of the poor and underserved in program decisions that affected them. At that time CCAP served Cranston, Coventry, Scituate and Foster. As many of our programs grew to include additional cities and towns outside that catchment area, we decided to change our name. In September of 1994 we officially became Comprehensive Community Action, but still CCAP. CCAP’s Mission Statement is quite simple: 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. Today, CCAP serves more than 20,000 Rhode Islanders with programs in Cranston, Warwick, Coventry, Providence, Pawtucket, Scituate, and Foster. Programs include: counseling services, health centers and dental care, food, housing and fuel assistance, weatherization, family support and services, Headstart, day care, emergency assistance, education, and job training.
