Cascap, Inc. was founded in 1973 to respond to the need for secure and affordable community housing for adults challenged with mental illness. Elder Cooperative Housing Options, Inc. (ECHO) was founded in 1975 to respond to the need for secure and affordable community housing for frail elders. In 1985, the two organizations merged under the name of Cascap, Inc.

Today, Cascap, based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is a well-respected non-profit organization with expertise in the development and management of quality housing as well as the delivery of residential and educational supportive services for elderly and disabled adults. Over150 dedicated staff ensure that individuals receive services appropriate for their needs.
