As a Community Action Agency and a Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) recipient, ADVOCAP completes a Community Needs Assessment every three years. ADVOCAP’s Community Needs Assessment includes gathering input through surveys from community members, including people living with low incomes, local partners, and ADVOCAP staff.
The goal is to better understand challenges facing the community, barriers to access, gaps in services, and resources available across Fond du Lac, Green Lake, and Winnebago Counties. Results of the survey are analyzed and shared in a public report that helps guide programs, planning, and partnerships.
As noted by the National Community Action Partnership (NCAP), “the Community Needs Assessment is the first phase of the Results Oriented Management and Accountability (ROMA) Cycle, grounding and guiding the work to develop and implement programs and services that lift families and communities out of poverty.”
