Communities Organized for Relational Power in Action (COPA)
"COPA is a network of 35 faith-based and nonprofit institutions in Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties. COPA’s activities are based on the concept of “relational organizing”—a process of deepening and broadening our understanding of each other that identifies potential areas for action on behalf of our members. Relational organizing includes one-to-one meetings, house meetings, research actions, and community actions. This model can develop in two ways, one identifies and serves the needs of the congregation, and the other prepares us to work together for a better (broader) community.
Our primary action has been an initiative to alleviate the shortage of affordable housing in Santa Cruz County. Our current focus is on negotiating with Standard Pacific to develop housing on the Par 3 property in Aptos. The development will have 90 units, a mix of rental and ownership, that will be affordable by very-low-income, low-income, and moderate-income households."
