Community Needs Assessment

2021 Maine Community Needs

Thank you for your interest in the Maine Community Action Partnership Statewide Community Needs Assessment 2021.

MeCAP and our Agencies would like to thank Cross Cultural Community Services, Equality Maine, and Maine Black Community Development for their assistance in convening focus groups to oversample our BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities; and Crescendo Consulting Group for their interest in our work and our communities, and for the excellent attention to detail that led to this comprehensive snapshot of Maine, during an unprecedented time of both a global pandemic and the novel economic incentives that addressed the economic impacts.

We would like to especially thank the hundreds of Maine people who took the time to fill out surveys, participate in focus groups and give their honest feedback about our programs and services.
