Community Action Needs Assessment

Every three years, Community Action Pioneer Valley conducts a community needs assessment to shape their Strategic Plan and ensure their services effectively respond to the real-life challenges of living with limited resources in our region. They are actively gathering input from a broad range of participants across all programs to ensure that future goals truly serve our diverse community.

The Community Assessment is part of the planning process for all the programs and services that Community Action offers. Completing this assessment helps make sure they offer high quality programs that respond to the changing needs of people with low incomes in our area.

The most recent community needs assessment was completed in July 2023 and included the input of hundreds of community members with low incomes, CAPV staff, and partner agencies.

This assessment is the only local source of information dedicated solely to describing what it’s like to live in our region and struggle to get by with limited resources.

Thank you for any help you can provide in getting the word out! Some of you may have already been involved in helping Community Action to collect survey responses from folks you work with. Please note the deadline has been extended to December 15th.
