What is a Community Needs Assessment?
As a Community Action Agency, ACCORD is federally required to conduct a Community Needs Assessments every three years. These assessments help determine the underlying causes and conditions of poverty within our neighborhoods and identify unmet needs. The assessment then guides our work to implement programs that help our most vulnerable residents out of poverty.
