Coastal Community Action Program

What Coastal Community Action Program does

Coastal Community Action Program (CCAP) is a non-profit community action agency founded in 1965 and headquartered in Aberdeen, Washington, serving low-income individuals and families across six counties in western Washington (Grays Harbor, Pacific, Lewis, Thurston, Mason, and Clark). The organization delivers a portfolio of social services including housing assistance and homelessness prevention (Coordinated Entry, transitional housing for youth aged 18-24, group homes, emergency shelters), home weatherization and energy bill assistance (LIHEAP, Project Help/Winter Help), senior nutrition (Meals on Wheels and congregate meals at five senior centers), non-medical in-home care for seniors and disabled adults, employment training and placement (WorkFirst for TANF recipients, Supported Employment and DVR services for individuals with disabilities), non-emergency medical and job-access transportation (Paratransit, Driven to Opportunity), HIV/AIDS case management, and representative payee services. CCAP operates from five physical offices with 251-500 employees and serves eligible clients at no charge based on income guidelines tied to federal poverty level and area median income thresholds.

CCAP's underlying technology stack is non-proprietary and comprises standard administrative and case management systems appropriate for a community action agency; the organization does not develop software products. Service delivery relies on physical offices, home visits, partner referrals, and mobile services, including 24/7 transportation routes. Notable owned infrastructure includes ten furnished transitional housing units for young adults in downtown Hoquiam, five shared group homes serving individuals connected with Behavioral Health Resources, and a wholly-owned 6 MW wind farm in Grayland, Washington, with four turbines producing approximately 13.5 million kWh of clean energy annually.

CCAP's revenue model is predominantly grant-funded, drawing on federal block grants (LIHEAP from HHS, TANF/WorkFirst from HHS via Washington Department of Commerce, Ryan White HIV/AIDS via Washington Department of Health), state and county appropriations (Washington Climate Commitment Act for transportation, Grays Harbor County Public Health for transitional housing), United Way of Grays Harbor pass-through funding, and earned income from the Coastal Energy Project subsidiary that sells wind power to the local public utility district. The wind farm was financed with New Markets Tax Credits and Renewable Energy Investment Tax Credits to create a sustainable non-grant revenue stream. The organization is led by CEO Craig Dublanko and CFO Lucy Machowek, operating as an independent entity within the national Community Action Network with no disclosed parent company.
