Skyline CAP

What Skyline CAP does

Skyline CAP (Skyline Community Action Partnership) is a private nonprofit community action agency founded in 1990 and headquartered in Madison, Virginia. The organization delivers education, family support, and housing programs to low-income individuals and families across seven Virginia counties — Fauquier, Greene, Madison, Orange, Page, Rappahannock, and Warren — under a unified mission of promoting self-sufficiency. Its core programs are Head Start (early childhood education across seven classrooms serving 120 children), Healthy Families (a voluntary, accredited home visiting program for expectant parents and families with young children, with 51 families served by the SAFE sub-program), Housing (affordable rental units, emergency home repairs, housing counseling, and housing choice vouchers), and Project Discovery (career readiness for middle and high school students). Sub-programs include the Emergency Home Repair Program (assisting 250+ low-income homeowners since 1994) and the Safety Advances Family Empowerment (SAFE) initiative launched in 2022, with Food Literacy in Preschool (FLIP) added in 2026.

The agency operates a distributed human-service delivery model: field staff conduct in-home visits, operate classrooms in partner schools, and maintain affordable housing units across its service area. There is no proprietary technology platform; the infrastructure consists of administrative offices, physical housing properties (including the recently acquired Barbara's House in Madison and Jack Naylor Apartments in Stanardsville), and a WordPress-based website. In fiscal year 2024, Skyline CAP served 1,633 individuals.

Skyline CAP is funded through a mix of federal, state, and local government grants (principally Head Start and Healthy Families funding), private donations and community foundation grants, and rental income from affordable housing units. All services are provided free of charge to eligible participants. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors (Pam Frederick, President) and led by Executive Director/CEO Simon Fiscus, with a leadership team covering housing, finance, HR, and program management. Strategic partners include Prevent Child Abuse America (accrediting body), the Virginia Community Action Partnership, Virginia Head Start Association, the Northern Piedmont Community Foundation, Rappahannock Electric Cooperative, and corporate donors such as Reynolds Subaru.
