These organizations deliver culturally and linguistically appropriate housing counseling services to the homeless, low- and moderate-income renters, homebuyers, and homeowners.

In particular, through our annual policy advocacy fellowship program, Community in the Capital (CITC), we have convened more than 150 leaders from our membership over the last fifteen years. CITC aims to increase the national presence and visibility of AA and NHPI community-based organizations and emerging leaders, as well as bridge the gap between local and federal policy advocacy.

This fund drove national resources to local, low-income communities with limited access to federal and philanthropic funding and whose needs are typically ignored by mainstream relief and recovery efforts. In response to anti-Asian hate and violence and considering the role AA and NHPI communities can play in confronting anti-Black racism, National CAPACD supported 21 local community-based organizations in 2023. These organizations received flexible funding and other resources for racial healing and solidarity and to implement activities that build multi-racial coalitions and advance a progressive agenda for equitable and racially just community reinvestment.
