For over 30 years, WestCOP's mission has been to help low income residents fight poverty through programs, which foster self-sufficiency. Greenburgh/Elmsford Community Action Program's primary target group had traditionally been low-income persons including women, minority populations, ex-offenders, substance abusers, displaced homemakers, dislocated workers and youths. Historically, counseling, employment and training have been an intricate part of the services provided by WestCOp's Community Action Programs. Greenburgh/Elmsford CAP serves about 2,000 low-income individuals annually through its various programs.
