NORTH CENTRAL COMMUNITY ACTION PROGRAM

What NORTH CENTRAL COMMUNITY ACTION PROGRAM does

North Central Community Action Program (NCCAP) is a Wisconsin-incorporated nonprofit community action agency headquartered in Wisconsin Rapids. It provides free social services to low-income residents across eight counties — Langlade, Lincoln, Marathon, Price, Rusk, Sawyer, Taylor, and Wood — through six regional offices. Its core service lines are the Wisconsin Home Energy Assistance Program (WHEAP), the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP), Emergency Heating Repair or Replacement, the Emergency Housing Assistance Fund (EHAF), Homeless Prevention, and Outreach Services for case management and referrals to mainstream benefit programs (W-2, SSI, SSDI, Food Share, Medical Assistance, Section 8, Badger Care).

The organization operates without proprietary technology platforms. Intake is handled via AdobeSign-powered online forms and a GoHighLevel application portal, with case management delivered by specialists across physical office locations. A Coordinated Entry Pre-Screen system enables a 'no wrong door' intake that determines eligibility for multiple housing programs across Wood, Marathon, and Lincoln Counties.

NCCAP's revenue model is grant-funded. The organization is the designated WHEAP Agency for Lincoln County and receives funding from the Wisconsin Department of Administration Division of Energy Services and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. All client-facing services are provided at no cost, and revenue flows from pass-through government appropriations rather than fees or commercial contracts. Governance is provided by a board that includes elected officials from county governments and representation from low-income community sectors.
