    Little Dixie Community Action Agency, Inc. Choctaw - McCurtain - Pushmataha Counties Southeast Oklahoma Purpose of a Community Needs Assessment: The purpose of a Community Needs Assessment is to identify and prioritize the needs and resources of a defined community or communities. Data is gathered from target populations and results are analyzed in order to understand the causes and conditions of poverty and changing population demographics. The agency’s board and leadership use this data to design effective, outcome based programs that will alleviate poverty. The analyzed data is summarized in a report which can be used to provide justification, both to funders and the public, on the need for resources and how resources are being allocated to programs. The report also provides useful data to educate the public and community leaders about issues related to poverty. 3 Table of Contents Overview …………..……………………………………….…………………………………......5 Agency Overview ……………………………..……………………………………….…5 Mission ……………………………………………..……………………………..6 Community/Service Area.......…………………….………………………..……...6 Data Methodology ……………………………….…………..……………………………6 Key Findings ……………………………………………………………………………...6 Prioritized Needs …………………………………………….…………………....6 Agency Programs and Services …….…...……………………………………………….........7-12 Community Demographics ..………………………………………………………………... 13-26 General Overall Population Demographic Profile …………………………………..13-17 Population Change..……………………………………………………………18-19 Employment………………………………………………………………….........20 Poverty Profile ………….…………………………………………………………....21-25

Community Action Agencies serve all 77 counties in Oklahoma. Community Action Agencies were established under the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964. Local tripartite boards control Community Action Agencies. Boards are composed of one-third low-income residents, one-third elected officials and one-third local businesses, nonprofit organizations, faith-based or community groups. Local tripartite boards allow Community Action Agencies to determine the most effective programs based on the specific needs of communities in their service areas. Community Action Agencies identify specific needs in their localities through community needs assessments. Community Action Agencies receiving Head Start grants must have board members who are parents of children enrolled in Head Start, or with expertise in finance, early childhood education, or the law.
