For more than 40 years, our agency had
operated under the name GOCA, an acronym for Greater Omaha Community Action.
Now renamed Eastern Nebraska Community Action Partnership, or ENCAP, we are linked statewide to eight other agencies and the National Community Action Partnership, a network of over 1,000 Community Action agencies. This puts real power behind our ability to assist our two Eastern Nebraska counties, Douglas and Sarpy, to which we are dedicated.
Eastern Nebraska Community Action Partnership participates in several community alliance initiatives (partial list includes: African American Empowerment Network, Empower Omaha, MACCH, Eastern Nebraska Office of the Aging) addressing specific needs in the area of services provided for at-risk youth, domestic violence, homelessness, senior citizens services, immigrant services, prisoner re-entry, health and healthy families, employment and education initiatives. ENCAP’s participation includes task force membership, problem solving work groups, referrals, and providing information to partners concerning the services that the agency can offer the community in an effort to reduce the gaps, duplication, and to make referrals in areas we currently do not offer services.
