Got Needs? Kings County Community Survey
The Got Needs Survey serves as a county-wide, perception-based assessment and is a valuable community instrument for amplifying the voices of Kings County residents, with a particular focus on those who are most vulnerable.
.
Orchestrated by the Kings Community Action Organization (KCAO) and undertaken in partnership with Kings Partnership, the Got Needs survey plays a significant role in assisting KCAO to identify community priorities over the upcoming two-year period. This involves the expansion of existing programs, pursuit of funding for initiatives, and reinforcement of deficiencies within Kings County communities.
.
Got Needs offers individuals the platform to express their own perspectives and yields invaluable insights that steer the course of community initiatives toward effective solutions. Your participation in this year's Got Needs survey is essential to ensuring that the needs of our communities are recognized and addressed!
