Comprehensive Community Needs Assessments

Our work is guided by the results of a Comprehensive Community Needs Assessment (CCNA).  The purpose of the assessment is to discover and understand the unique needs of our communities as they relate to economic well-being, education, employment, healthcare, behavioral health, housing, and transportation. Understanding the nature and extent of poverty in our area is extremely important to the well-being of our communities today and in the future. The results ensure that non-profits, governments, and businesses have a common tool for planning and collaborative efforts.
