Oregon's Poverty Fighting Network

CAPO serves as the State Association for the Community Action Network in Oregon.  We work to magnify the impact of Community Action to serve low-income Oregonians by advocating for resources with a unified voice, strengthening partnerships, and building network capacity.  CAPO also operates programs in energy and weatherization training, veteran's services, and support of homelessness programs across 26 rural Oregon counties.

CAPO Annual
Impact Report

Coming February 2025, CAPO will have a full impact report of the statewide Community Action initiatives.
Stay tuned!

Drawing on extensive data from all seventeen (17) community action agencies statewide, as well as insights from Oregon Human Development Corporation, the state-wide farmworkers agency, we have carefully compiled a detailed analysis of the significant impact that community action services have had on Oregonians during the fiscal year 2024. This report reflects the dedication and tireless efforts of these agencies in addressing the unique needs of communities across the state, demonstrating their ongoing commitment to improving the well-being of individuals and families. The programs and resources offered by these agencies are designed to foster positive change and promote long-term stability for those they serve.

​

The services provided by each agency are determined through thorough, community-driven needs assessments, conducted within the local areas they serve. These assessments are a crucial part of the process, enabling agencies to identify the specific challenges faced by their communities and develop tailored solutions to meet those needs. By engaging directly with local populations, these agencies are able to build programs that reflect the diverse and evolving needs of each community, ensuring that their interventions are both relevant and impactful. This localized, data-informed approach ensures that the programming not only addresses immediate concerns but also promotes lasting, sustainable improvements in the lives of Oregonians.
