Mission

Enhance consumer capacity for independent living by supporting Cascap residents in their personal goals of leading active, healthy and fulfilling lives.

The Cascap Philosophy

Cascap's overall philosophy assumes that the retention of a secure and affordable home and neighborhood is integral to each resident as he or she reaches for these larger life goals. Cascap's program staff are skilled, trained and committed to undertaking this supportive role 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Contracts

Under contract with the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health (DMH), the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission (MRC), and the City of Cambridge, the Residential Services and Representative Payee/Money Managements Programs provide supportive services to over 200 adults in need of specialized mental health and other services. In keeping with Cascap's mission, the range of services we provide assists residents in improving their life skills and can in some cases enable them to move to less intensive services in our housing continuum.

In addition, Cascap has contracted with the Cambridge Housing Authority (CHA) to provide social work services and service coordination to over 1,300 individuals in CHA's elderly and family housing programs.

The sum of these services contracts is over $4.8 million annually.
