Community Action and Revitalization Program (CARP)

The Community Action and Revitalization Program (CARP) was first initiated through the Tribal Permanent Land Restoration Fund. Currently there are over 140 abandoned building structures such as homes and mobile homes on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. The CARP program is designed to beautify and revitalize the Tribe through small and large scale cleanup projects of abandoned structures such as homes and mobile lost through fire, homes that may pose an environmental health risk, and building structures that Tribal members/owners want demolished.

**CARP is a joint effort by EPO, Tribal Police, Tribal Public Works Department, and Tribal Fire and Rescue Department**
