Jefferson Parish Community Action Programs

Description

Jefferson Community Action Programs (JEFFCAP) is Jefferson Parish's agency dedicated to empowering as many families in Jefferson Parish and surrounding areas, including our elderly, disabled, economically disadvantaged, and youth through our various programs. Linkages have been built with federal, state, local, and private agencies to provide a wide array of services to meet the clients' needs.

JeffCAP offers programs ranging from Head Start to the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program, mortgage, and utility assistance, to helping families keep their homes and referrals to external programs that offer temporary shelter for those who have lost their homes.
