National Coalition for Asian Pacific American Community Development (National CAPACD)

The National Coalition for Asian Pacific American Community Development (National CAPACD) is a coalition of nearly 100 community-based organizations spanning 21 states and the Pacific Islands. Our members work in low-income Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities to improve housing security and preserve our neighborhoods. We disseminate national resources locally, share best practices and advocate for community needs at the national level. Our work improves the lives of the over two million AAPIs living in poverty nationwide. MISSION National CAPACD is a progressive coalition of local organizations that advocate for and organize in low-income AAPI communities and neighborhoods. We strengthen and mobilize our members to build power nationally and further our vision of economic and social justice for all. VISION National CAPACD's vision of social and economic justice in the US emerges when low income Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders have the information, resources, and power necessary to engage, thrive, and have a voice in shaping their neighborhoods and communities.
