Yes. CAPA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

A 501(c)(3):
• is a specific section of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code providing federal tax exemption to qualifying nonprofit organizations.
• must be organized exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, literary, educational, public safety testing, amateur sports, or cruelty prevention purposes.
• provides a key benefit allowing donors to deduct contributions made to these organizations from their federal taxes.

CAPA's supported living services are funded by the Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA), operating under the Department of Social and Human Services (DSHS).

Keystone Employment Services is funded through the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) and Pierce County Human Services (PCHS). We also participate in grant writing, accept donations, and hold occasional fundraisers.

We contract with Pierce County exclusively.

Keystone provides supported employment and community integration services to approximately 25 clients. A combination of CAPA clients and community members participate in Keystone services.

Each CAPA household has a maximum of two residents. This number is determined by the specific needs of our clients.

CAPA provides agency-owned vehicles for staff members to transport clients participating in our supported living program. One vehicle is parked at each duplex to be shared between two homes.

Our clients must be at least 18 years old.

Our services are individualized and special for each participant or client. If accommodations or special support services are required, requested, or desired beyond what CAPA is able to provide, outside assistance may be obtained as needed.
