The purpose of the Community Needs Assessment (CNA) is to understand the needs of people living in poverty or at risk of falling into poverty. The findings will help Community Action of Allegan County (CAAC) identify and prioritize resources and guide future planning. The CNA looks at poverty rates as well as the challenges that can make it difficult for individuals and families to become financially stable. It also considers the larger community, including local services, resources, and infrastructure, to better understand what may create barriers or provide support for people experiencing poverty. The Community Needs Assessment has been completed and is available at https://ow.ly/hGz850ZV7i1.
