Funding is provided through a grant via the Department of Rehabilitation (Federal Stimulus Funds). 

The Wedowee facility is located on Highway 431, just south of Midway Methodist Church. Employment Specialists Richard Roberson and Re Holliday are assigned to the Wedowee Center and can be reached at 256-357-0307. Both are residents of Randolpoh County and will be visiting local busineses, schools, and organizations to better serve the needs of the community. 

Services provided at this facility are: paid job readiness classes, job development, placement and support services. Disabled consumers receiving services are referred through the Alabama Department of Rehabilitation Services. 

The CAPS program is dedicated to improving the level of independence and employability of individuals with all types of disabilities.
