ECKAN Community Needs Assessment Now Available
ECKAN has completed its latest Community Needs Assessment, a comprehensive review of conditions affecting individuals and families across our service area. This assessment reflects input from customers, community members, staff, and board members, gathered through surveys, focus groups, partner engagement, and census data.
The findings highlight ongoing challenges related to housing affordability, energy costs, childcare availability, transportation access, healthcare, and food security. These issues often intersect and influence a household’s ability to maintain stability and achieve long-term economic well-being.
Consistent with the Results-Oriented Management and Accountability (ROMA) framework and CSBG Organizational Standards, this assessment serves as the foundation for ECKAN’s strategic planning and program development. It ensures that services align with documented community needs and that resources are directed to where they can have the greatest impact.
ECKAN will use these findings to guide the strategic plan and Community Action Plan, strengthen partnerships, and continue improving outcomes for individuals and families across East Central Kansas.
