The Montana Community Action Network is doing the first statewide community needs assessment for the state of Montana to learn about community needs. The goal of the survey is to understand poverty in Montana and find ways to help. The answers will help us learn more about the needs of people and families in the areas we serve.
The Montana Community Action Network is made up of 10 groups across Montana. These groups, called Community Action Agencies (CAAs), are non-profit groups that run programs to help families with low incomes reach their goals. They are not part of the State of Montana or the Office of Public Assistance. There are 10 CAAs in different parts of Montana, as shown on the map below.

The results of this survey will help make sure each CAA’s services match what communities need. It will also show if there are any services missing. This helps the agencies plan for future programs and ways to help the community. The State of Montana will also use the results to track important needs and issues over time.
The survey takes about 10 minutes to finish. Your answers will be private, and no one reading the overall results of the survey will know they came from you. We will share the overall results with the public. Doing the survey is your choice, and it won’t change your ability to have any programs or services you’re already using.
Everyone who takes part in the survey can enter a drawing to win one of five $50 gift cards. If you have any questions, please contact Lisa Curry at lisa@jgresearch.org or (406) 490-5967.
