What is MCAP?
The Montebello Community Assistance Program (MCAP), is a field-based outreach program that serves a wide-range of individuals with multiple medical complexities, facing multiple conditions that impact their quality of life, such as compromised health conditions, homelessness and behavioral health conditions. The program is staffed by a Firefighter/Paramedic, Social Work Coordinator, Field Based Case Manager and Housing Navigator.
MCAP's purpose is to assist both Fire and Police personnel in situations where alternative intervention and support can be provided without the need for enforcement, emergency medical or other critical resources, thereby freeing up these services for other high-priority needs.
