Take The Community Needs Assessment, Help Community Action Best Serve Our Region

Posted on by gphadave

Community Action Partnership is asking residents to take part in the 2026 Community Needs Assessment, a short survey designed to identify key needs across Jamestown, Stutsman County, and North Dakota. Topics include housing, childcare, workforce, healthcare, and transportation.

Survey results help guide funding decisions, local programs, and services that directly impact the community. In past assessments, rising costs, housing support, food access, and childcare were among the top concerns.

The survey takes only a few minutes to complete and is open to adults across the state. Community members are encouraged to participate and share the survey to help provide a clear picture of local needs.
