Washington Statewide Community Needs Assessment

For the Record is a bold, community-centered effort to listen, document, and act on the needs and experiences of people across Washington State. Led by Byrd Barr Place, this Statewide Community Needs Assessment (CNA) is conducted in partnership with Community Action Agencies and grassroots organizations to uncover the issues affecting everyday life in our communities—especially among those historically left out of the data.
