2023 Community Needs Assessment
In 2023, the Community Action Partnership of North Dakota conducted a statewide needs assessment in conjunction with North Dakota State University (NDSU) and the North Dakota Department of Commerce, Division of Community Services. The assessment results show that rental assistance remain the first priority need among people experiencing poverty throughout North Dakota followed by food and dental insurance/affordable dental care. Increased living costs and inflation have emerged as significant contributing factors to the causes of poverty across the state, and they could also be the key drivers behind the priority needs.
We invite you to check out the full results of the survey including a comparison of the 2020 results with the current 2023 assessment results.

| Poverty Simulations
CAPND conducts poverty simulations to large groups for educational purposes. The poverty simulation experience is designed to help participants begin to understand what it might be like to live in a typical low-income family trying to survive from month-to-month. It is a simulation, not a game. The object is to sensitize participants to the realities faced by low-income people.
Learn more about our Poverty Simulations here.
If you are interested in scheduling a simulation experience or would like a quote, please email us at info@capnd.org
