Overview
Penquis Community Action Program (PCAP) and the Bangor Community Health Leadership Board (CHLB) use whole-family and place-based approaches to alleviate the conditions of poverty and increase the assets of a low-income Bangor neighborhood and its residents. By meeting these short-term objectives, we can begin to achieve the long-term goal of reducing poverty and improving well-being in the community. These approaches will address several barriers and concerns, including a lack of caring/connection to the community, lack of knowledge of community resources, and inaccessibility of resources, all the while maximizing impact through multiple-sector engagement, evidence-based interventions, and targeted asset allocation.
