Community Action agencies conduct a statewide triennial community needs assessment to help us identify the community needs of families with low incomes in Lake, Lincoln, Flathead and Sanders counties. Our survey is now LIVE and taking responses. The survey along with a one-hour conversational focus group in each county aims to learn which needs are at the forefront of the community (health care, affordable childcare, access to housing, crime, transportation, mental health services, food insecurity, senior or youth needs) and all discussion quotes and feedback are confidential.

If you are able to help share this survey, please click here to print and post the portrait or landscape survey flyers in your office building, lobby, employee bulletin board, community area or share the link (https://www.capnm.net/survey) with your clients, we would be most grateful as the more responses we receive, the better insights we may gather to implement much needed programming across Northwest Montana. You are also welcome to complete the survey yourself, it generally takes about 5-10 minutes.

Please reach out if you would like me to mail you hard copies of the survey flyers. And, feel free to amplify across your social networks: Facebook, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and/or LinkedIn by sharing the linked posts on your social channel/page.

Also, if you are interested in participating in the focus group for your county, please reply to this email with your contact information and the county in which you reside or work. 

Thank you for your support in sharing this survey far and wide.
