Community Action Plan

The Community Needs Assessment Survey is Open! Please see below for more details.

Every two years, the County of San Diego's Community Action Partnership (CAP) develops a Community Action Plan.

The Plan aims to improve CAP's services and address the priority needs of San Diego’s low-income community members. The results from a Community Needs Assessment inform the Plan.

The Community Needs Assessment involves the following:

1. a survey to gather anonymous feedback from community members

2. in-person meetings where community members can share their experiences and ideas for solutions

3. a report to share the data gathered from the survey and in-person meetings

Through the anonymous responses, the Survey will help CAP understand:

• the conditions that affect low-income community members

• the resources needed to address the unmet needs of the most vulnerable residents

• what current services are helpful and what need improvement

• the barriers to services and any gaps in services

• ideas for future programs and services

How to Get Involved

• Complete the survey (link below!)

• Join an in-person meeting

• Ask questions

• Review the information on this page

The Assessment results will guide the Plan, which will direct the resources where low-income residents need them most.

While the County uses the Plan to guide CAP programs, the data in the Plan and report may be helpful for others working in low-income communities.

If you have any questions, please contact CAP by email at HHSA.Communities@sdcounty.ca.gov or by phone at (619) 338-2799.
