In light of the federal government shutdown and its potential impact on critical programs, we want to provide clarity : CAPV is open and serving our community. 

We understand that news of the shutdown can cause uncertainty, especially for people who depend on our services. Please rest assured: there is currently no interruption to the services you receive through CAPV. 

We are in close communication with our state and national partners and are actively monitoring developments.  If there are changes to funding and program availability,  we will post updates here. 

Founded in 1965 as part of the War on Poverty, CAPV has navigated change for six decades with transparency, resilience, and deep commitment to the people we serve. 

We are here for you. We are with you. If you have questions or concerns, please contact our office directly.

OUR MISSION

Community Action Pioneer Valley assists people who have low incomes to achieve economic stability and security. We work to build communities in which all people have the opportunity to thrive.
About CAPV
Our vision is a community that celebrates our shared humanity as well as our diversity. We strive to build a community that invests in access for everyone to healthy food; safe, affordable housing; living wage work; high quality, affordable education from birth; and full participation in the democratic process. In service to that vision, Community Action Pioneer Valley relies on the leadership of people who have low incomes to define how we approach our work. We advocate for policies and resources that protect the vulnerable and disenfranchised, and open opportunity to all. Working with many partners, we create a community where children and youth are nurtured and protected, and everyone achieves their potential and prospers in the fullness of life.
