Lycoming County 2024 Community Assessment 

Community Assessment 2024 Report for Lycoming County

Clinton County 2024 Community Assessment 

Community Assessment 2024 Report for Clinton County

The Lycoming-Clinton Counties Commission for Community Action (STEP), Inc. is the Community Action Agency for Lycoming and Clinton counties, and as such is required to complete a Community Assessment every three years and upon any major change in service area. The last full Community Assessment was completed in 2024.

The Lycoming County Community Assessment and Clinton County Community Assessment combined objective and subjective data sets for each county, including: demographic data, community/customer surveys, partner surveys, and focus group meetings. The information presented in these documents is the comprehensive analysis of the information gathered. Overall, six key need categories were identified: Children and Youth, Education and Employment, Families in Crisis, Housing and Homelessness, Health and Nutrition, and Seniors and Persons with Disabilities. 

The 2024 Community Assessment reports are a resource and asset for various stakeholders in the community. All of them, including funding agencies, government officials, nonprofits, businesses, and institutions, are encouraged to use the information within. The Community Assessment's value and utility will be realized only if it is embraced and used within strategic and comprehensive planning, grant writing, program development, and partnerships. Within the document, analysis of the data is illustrated in various ways, but by no means is it all-inclusive. The data provided can and should be further examined to be most useful to the reader.
