R.A.P. (Recreation Assistance Program) is a program Milpitas Parks & Recreation Services offers that assists qualifying Milpitas residents to take part in programs who might not be able to afford them. R.A.P. is available to assist youth, teens, adults and seniors.
“It made my children’s summer vacation more enjoyable. Otherwise I won’t be able to afford to let them take classes. I am quite pleased with R.A.P. because all of my children were able to go.”
Through R.A.P.,not only can a child participate in day camp, but a teenager can participate in an art class, a parent can take a ballroom dance class, or a senior citizen can learn how to play the guitar. R.A.P. provides qualifying individuals up to $150 or qualifying households up to $500 per year to participate in Parks & Recreation Services’ programs.
“It gave us an opportunity to stay fit.”
Currently, R.A.P. funding is provided by a CDBG (Community Development Block Grants). This funding is limited, which in turn, limits the number of people in the community who can benefit from it. Donations are accepted year-round at the Community Center, Senior Center and Sports Center to increase the amount of funding available for additional participation.
“The R.A.P. program has helped me to ‘allow’ my child to experience the benefits of team sports and healthy activities.”
Recreation Assistance Program (R.A.P.) is on a first come, first serve basis to families and individuals whom meet the HUD (Housing Urban Development) requirements. To receive an application or for more information on the R.A.P. program, call the R.A.P. Coordinator at (408) 586-3228. All information is confidential. Don’t miss out on the fun!
“Art class is a place where I can relax and forget the daily problems. My blood pressure calms down.”
