Santa Cruz County Community Assessment Project
The Community Assessment Project (CAP) is a multi-year initiative to measure and improve the quality of life in Santa Cruz County.

Specific activities have included quality-of-life indicator creation, in-depth telephone surveys (conducted in English and Spanish) of nearly 800 local residents biennially, extensive data compilation and analysis, and facilitation of a collaborative of over thirty community organizations.
