Vancouver, Wash. ‒ Clark County Community Services will host a forum next month that will give residents a chance to share their thoughts about findings of the county’s 2016 Low-Income Community Needs Survey.

The event will be Thursday, May 18, in the Columbia Room of the Vancouver Community Library, 901 C St.

Information will be available for viewing and comment during a 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. open house-style session. A formal presentation, group discussion and community feedback session will begin at 6 p.m.

The event is open to the public. Seating for the evening presentation is limited, and registration is recommended. Please register at https://goo.gl/forms/h78It03hUIWs7dfz1.

Beverages and hors d’oeuvres will be provided at the 6 p.m. session.

During the past year, Community Services has been preparing a written assessment of the needs of local residents with low incomes. The assessment will include data from 1,165 surveys the county received from community members. The Needs Survey was Community Service’s opportunity to hear directly from families served by its programs and other with low incomes.

The May 18 forum will give residents an opportunity to provide feedback on specific information for the needs assessment. The final document will be available to a wide range of groups and will help determine funding decisions by nonprofits and Clark County.
