Community Needs Assessments

Community Action Agencies throughout the country are required to conduct a community needs assessment every three years. The Indiana Community Action Poverty Institute works with each Community Action Agency in Indiana to develop a needs assessment that brings together the voices and expressed needs of low-income Hoosiers, the perspectives of community partners, relevant and current research literature, and data from the U.S. Census Bureau and other secondary sources. The community needs assessments guide Community Action Agencies as they develop their strategic plans to improve the economic security and well-being of low-income Hoosiers in their service areas.
