In their capacity as the region’s Community Action Agency, the Greater Lawrence Community Action Council (GLCAC) is conducting their current Community Needs Assessment, which is an examination of the causes and conditions of poverty in Greater Lawrence. Community voice is one of the most important datasets in the assessment and as such they are strongly encouraging anyone who is a member of the Greater Lawrence community to respond to the survey. A report on the findings of the assessment will be published this summer, and from there will be used to drive GLCAC’s strategic planning.   All responses are anonymous and confidential.
