Community Needs Assessments
On behalf of CAAC’s staff and Board of Directors, the Community Needs Assessment identifies key areas of focus for targeted services and programs, where the greatest measurable impact can be realized. The CNA provides a detailed snapshot of our community needs, incorporating state and regional data, as well as local stakeholder input. Information gained in this triennial process is deployed for internal and strategic planning efforts throughout CAAC and external collaboration efforts with community partners. It is through the CNA process and related implementation planning that CAAC ensures we are making ever-increasing improvements in addressing the causes and conditions of poverty, building capacity for enduring change in the lives of low-income families, and empowering individuals and families to self-reliance.
