Aloha mai kākou:

Welcome to HCAP’s home on the web!  We hope that you will spend some time in visiting us and learn more about our mission and the many programs that we offer to those in need throughout our island community.

The Honolulu Community Action Program, Inc., or HCAP as we are more commonly known, has been proudly serving the communities of Oahu since 1965.  We are resolute in achieving our mission of providing opportunities and inspiration to enable low-income individuals or families to achieve self-reliance.  We, at HCAP, believe that everyone should have the opportunity to contribute - to the best of their capabilities – and share in our society’s social and economic well-being and prosperity.

HCAP carries out its mission through multi-varied community programs throughout Oahu.  Annually, HCAP serves over 11,000 low-income clients with as many as 23 programs in areas of job preparation, placement and follow-up; education and child care services; family assistance and development; community involvement, advocacy, coordination and resource mobilization.  HCAP provides these services with an annual budget of approximately $18 million and a staff of over 400 employees.

Our nation, state and island communities are dealing with unprecedented challenges.  Notwithstanding these challenges, HCAP remains committed to its mission, and we will stand firm in our support of those in need in our community.  Abandonment of our communities’ needy during these tough times will never be an option. 

We will achieve an end to poverty by working collaboratively within our community with our clients, our partner agencies and organizations, and our Federal, State and local governmental partners.  Collectively, we will all rise in the same tide.  Our dedicated Board of Directors, driven staff, and tireless volunteers continue to perform the necessary tasks to help address the concerns of our communities.
