    Welcome

    The Community Action Partnership of Oregon, CAPO, (formerly Community Action Directors of Oregon, CADO) is a private, non-profit association comprised of the Executive Directors of Oregon's Community Action Agencies, the Oregon Human Development Corporation and associate member agencies.

    The mission of CAPO and member Community Action Agencies is to eradicate the causes and conditions of poverty that exist in Oregon. This anti-poverty work is done in collaboration with a variety of partners, representing local, state and federal governments, as well as community and advocacy groups, policymakers and low income leaders. CAPO's work and goals include:

    • Impact policy formation and implementation of programs that affect the poor;
    • Raise public awareness of the problems of the poor and the local nature of Community Action Programs;
    • Foster effective relationships with other groups who share common concerns;
    • Maximize resources to address the causes and conditions of poverty; and
    • Provide an on-going avenue for personal and professional development.

    ``Anyone who has ever struggled with poverty knows how extremely expensive it is to be poor. ''
    - James Baldwin 1924-87
