The Central Kentucky Community Action Council is requesting public input for its 2026 Community Needs Assessment, part of the organization’s efforts to identify the underlying causes of poverty and to determine the most urgent needs of Lincoln Trail region residents.
According to a release from the council, the needs assessment helps the organization ensure its programs “are effectively targeting the real-world challenges faced by local families.” A needs assessment is required annually to meet federal guidelines.
“The Community Needs Assessment is the first phase of our strategic planning cycle,” said CKCAC Executive Director Bryan Conover. “It allows us to ground our work in data and direct community input, ensuring we implement services that truly lift families out of poverty and toward self-sufficiency.”
Data gathered through the needs assessment helps the council prioritize resources, identify gaps in coverage, and plan strategically. Any resident in Breckinridge, Grayson, Hardin, LaRue, Marion, Meade, Nelson, and Washington counties is encouraged to submit input.
The survey is available at ckcac.org and only takes a few minutes to complete. The deadline to submit a response is February 27. Visit the website to learn more.
