Community Needs Assessment
According to Organizational Standards every three years Community Action Agencies must complete a Comprehensive Needs Assessment. Community Action Agencies must collect and include current qualitative and quantitative data specific to poverty and its prevalence related to gender, age, and race/ethnicity for their entire service area. The community assessment should include key findings on the causes and conditions of poverty and the needs of the communities assessed.
