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, Native American, and Pacific Islander (AA and NHPI) 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 AAs and NHPIs living in poverty nationwide. MISSION National CAPACD advances equity and creates vibrant, healthy neighborhoods by mobilizing and strengthening a powerful coalition of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander community-based organizations working in low-income communities. VISION Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders, and all communities of color live and thrive equitably and are empowered to collectively shape their neighborhoods.
