Community Services
The County of El Paso drafted its principal soldier in 1967, and joined Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Baines Johnson on this nation's historic War on Poverty!
This magnificent warrior is none other than El Paso County's own Community Action Prorgam (CAP), Project BRAVO, Inc.
In working out a winning strategy of this "War on Poverty," the approach at the local level has become a community movement and involvement. This eventually was to be called "Community Action." Each CAP is mandated to provide for the "maximun feasible participation" of the poor in its target area.
To this effect, Project BRAVO has identified the following six target areas in the County of El Paso:
>EASTSIDE NEGIHBORHOOD CENTER 2050 TRAWOOD DRIVE, SUITE #4 (915) 565-1377>LOWER VALLEY CENTER 101 POTASIO (915) 765-2030
>NORTHEAST NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER 9420 MCCOMBS STREET (915) 757-0199
>SOUTHSIDE SATELLITE OFFICE 716 E. PAISANO (915) 544-0336
>UPPER VALLEY CENTER 7000 5TH STREET, ROOM 136 (915) 877-7625
>YSLETA NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER 400 S. ZARAGOZA, SUITE A (915) 629-7676
Neighborhood Centers primarily serve the target area residents as in-take to all of the programs provided by Project BRAVO, and as a referral to all of the social services offered by other agencies/programs in the County of El Paso.
