Community Needs Assessment Forums

Friday, December 7, 2018 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Nevada County Government Center, 2nd Floor in the Empire Room; 950 Maidu Avenue, Nevada City, CA

The Nevada County Adult and Family Services Commission will convene two Community Forums to accept input on the needs of the impoverished in Nevada County. Interested Nevada County residents, including representatives of community organizations and service providers, are invited to participate and share their views regarding the needs of very low-income populations of all ages. The information gathered at the Forums will contribute to the needs assessment process required as a part of the 2020/21 Community Action Plan (CAP). The CAP is part of the application process for ongoing Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) funding for supportive service programs. For more information see the Flyer.
