Program Objective. The objective of CAEPP is to provide an avenue for young men with a desire to improve their quality of life through opportunity of a better education and training in order to gain better employment. The need for shelter is a direct result of a need for better education and training. Young men that are given a chance to improve through education and training, can provide a better life for their families because through a better education and training, they can gain better employment to be able to afford housing for themselves and their families. It has been proven that a lack of financial stability is the root of most broken families. Better employment and training will decrease broken families and increase the chances of men being able to financial provide for their wives and children. Unemployment rates will decrease, crime rates will decrease, and the number of unpaid child support payment will decrease.
