Community Action Plan

The Community Needs Assessment Survey has closed on July 31, and the Community Meetings (Ideas Exchange) have concluded on August 25.

Thank you for your participation!

In January 2027, the report of the findings and the draft service plan will be available for public review and feedback. We look forward to hearing from you.

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 through July 31st

• Join an in-person meeting through August 25th

• 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.
