About National CAPACD

National CAPACD is the first national advocacy organization dedicated to addressing the community development needs of diverse and rapidly growing AAPI communities. We are a membership-based network of more than 100 organizations and individuals in 17 states that serve Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, Native Hawaiians, refugees and immigrants nationwide. Our members use innovative affordable housing, community development, organizing and planning strategies to improve the well-being of low-income AAPI communities.
National CAPACD staff and members

Since 1999, National CAPACD has brought together some of the most sophisticated, comprehensive and active community development agencies, social service providers, national organizations, advocates and organizers.

We promote peer-to-peer learning, link organizations and resource and pool together the talent and leaderships of AAPIs. National CAPACD has also developed strategic partnerships with intermediaries, financial institutions, policymakers, immigrant workers rights and other social change movements.
