Community Needs Assessment Survey

A needs assessment survey is a vital tool used to gather information from a group or community about their needs. The insights gathered help determine actions to be taken, with priority given to the most important needs identified. It's an effective tool to understand and address the needs of a community.

2022 Poverty Guidelines

The 2021 Poverty Guidelines have been updated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. These changes are effective from January 13, 2021 and reflect the increase in prices measured by the Consumer Price Index. These guidelines are used to determine eligibility for federal programs such as Head Start and Early Head Start. It is important that stakeholders familiarize themselves with these updated guidelines. Our Department is committed to serving all citizens and ensuring that everyone has access to vital services provided by these federal programs.

2021-2022 CSBG Outcomes

Outcome measurement is a valuable tool for evaluating the effectiveness of programs and activities. It goes beyond simple metrics like the number of clients served or the amount of donations received, allowing LCCAA to determine if their programs are achieving the desired results.
