Central Area Motivation Program is dedicated to reducing the impact of poverty on families and individuals through providing services and promoting institutional community change through advocacy. We identify and address the causes of poverty and remove barriers to self-sufficiency.

 

CAMP was founded in 1964 as part of the first generation of community-inspired organizations funded by the Economic Opportunity Act.  Over the course of its 45-year history, the agency has been instrumental in combating poverty in the central area of Seattle, supporting basic needs and providing education and assistance to the community and beyond.

 

CAMP assists Seattle households with home-heating costs through two programs: the federally funded Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and Puget Sound Energy's HELP Program.  It is possible to receive grants through both PSE/HELP and LIHEAP in the same program year.
