As a mutual assistance association, we’ve worked hard to serve all immigrants and refugees rather than focus on one particular cultural community.
As a member of the Emergency Food Shelf Network (EFN), we are able to secure donated and low priced food for our Asian specific Food Shelf. Membership with EFN also qualifies us for in-kind and cash support from Hunger Solutions, the Greater Minneapolis Council of Churches and Second Harvest.
CAPI is lead agency in a 3 agency consortium to deliver Refugee Employment Services to almost 500 unemployed refugees (who have been in the U.S. for 5 or fewer years). Collaborating employment service providers include Goodwill Easter Seals of Minnesota and Somali Family Services.
We partner with Elder Care Partners to serve Hmong adults who are caring for their parents, while also managing their own families.
We participate in a 3-agency consortium with the International Institute and Habitat for Humanity to provide comprehensive and complimentary case management refugee resettlement services to 60+ refugees annually.
We are involved in a 5-agency consortium to deliver school navigation services to limited English-speaking immigrant and refugee parents who have historically not been involved in their children’s education. The consortium is led by Pillsbury United Communities and also includes the Oromo Community of Minnesota, Minnesota African Women’s Association and the Slavic Community Center.
Because of CAPI’s success in meeting “MFIP Participation Rates”, Hennepin County has contracted with CAPI to assist 17 other Hennepin County MFIP providers in developing 50+ subsidized wage/employment experiences. CAPI works closely with AccessAbility and Goodwill Easter Seals to create as many as 50 subsidized slots annually.
