The Promise of Community Action:
"Community Action changes people's lives, embodies the spirit of hope, improves communities, and makes America a better place to live. We care about the entire community, and we are dedicated to helping people help themselves and each other."
The Community Action Partnership service area includes the following counties: Adams, Billings, Bowman, Divide, Dunn, Golden Valley, Hettinger, McKenzie, Slope, Stark and Williams.
The Community Action Partnership was organized as a nonprofit agency as a result of the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964. The Economic Office of Opportunity was created to formally conduct the "War on Poverty." Community Action and Development Program was incorporated in 1976 along with five other Community Action Agencies (CAA) in the State of North Dakota.
In 1974 Congress passed the Community Services Act which created the Community Services Administration (CSA), an independent federal agency that was responsible for providing funding grants and overseeing the activities of CAA's. For all intent and purposes, CSA replaced the Office of Economic Opportunity created in 1964.
Needs Assessment
Every two to three years, Community Action Partnership requests clients and members of the community to fill out a Needs Assessment Survey to help determine the basic household information of the clients Community Action serves. The Needs Asessment Survey also helps to determine the greatest needs of the clients served. Below is a link to access the final needs assessment results from Region 8 (Dickinson) and Region I (Williston) for 2006.

WEATHERIZATION PROGRAM
The weatherization program helps people make their homes and apartments more energy efficient. This is done to conserve fuel and save money. Weatherization seals a home to keep warm air in and cold air out during the winter.
Weatherization services can help reduce your heating costs by:
- Caulking to seal cracks in walls, ceilings, and foundations and weather stripping around doors and windows.
- Repairing or replacing damaged windows or doors.
- Adding attic, wall or foundation insulation.
- Furnace replacement or repair on eligible units.
- Heating system tune-ups and safety checks.
- Insulating water lines and heat ducts.
- Pressure diagnostics of the home.
- Infrared analyses to determine heat loss or gain and moisture problems.
There is no charge to applicants who are homeowners. Renters may also be assisted under this program, provided they meet income guidelines and the landlord complies with other program requirements.
The 2009 income guidelines are based on your annual gross income and how many people are in the home. These are effective April 1, 2009.
