Description Of Organization And Services

HACAP is a diverse, community-focused nonprofit dedicated to the improvement of families and individuals in our communities.  We provide a diverse array of programs and services that work toward removing the barriers of poverty. We collaborate among for-profit, nonprofit, faith-based, service groups and community members in order to make stronger, healthier communities.

HACAP provides multiple programs to the residents of Johnson County:

  • LIHEAP (Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program) makes a one-time payment towards the primary heat source for eligible households in the form of a credit applied directly to the utility company.
  • Energy Crisis Program (ECIP) assists households with disconnections, reconnections, missed a payment on a pay arrangement, or less than 30% LP.
  • Weatherization works to reduce personal utility costs by improving the housing stock of low-income individuals and families.
  • HACAP Food Reservoir works with local agencies to support food pantries accessible to all. People interested in starting a food pantry should contact the Food Reservoir. Map of pantries found on HACAP website.
  • Affordable Housing works to provide affordable housing for low-income families. HACAP manages a number of apartments and single-family dwellings for low-income families

In addition, Early Head Start provides a home program for pregnant women and children through the age of 3. Provided at no cost to families.
