Jasper, Indiana, August 7, 2023:   The Dubois-Pike-Warrick Economic Opportunity Committee, Inc. d/b/a/ TRI-CAP announces the publication of the 2023 Community Needs Assessment, examining the economic security and well-being of low-income residents in Dubois, Pike and Warrick Counties. 

The Community Needs Assessment is published every three years and includes responses to a survey distributed to TRI-CAP clients, community stakeholders, and data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

“The survey and report were created by the Indiana Community Action Poverty Institute, a program of the Indiana Community Action Association”, said Joyce Fleck, Executive Director.  “The Community Needs Assessment offers an in-depth look at how our neighbors are faring and the challenges that hold them back. The information will be used to guide our program and strategic plan development,” Fleck said.

June 27, 2023

Rachel Trabant, RSVP Coordinator, is a point of contact for the initiative and shares the premise and goal of the initiative.

“Dubois County is coming together to understand how well the community serves people with dementia and to explore how we can act together to improve opportunities and outcomes for people with dementia by becoming a Dementia Friendly Community,” Trabant said.

A Dementia Friendly Community is an informed, safe and supported, and respectful community approach for individuals with dementia and their families and caregivers, which provides supportive options that foster quality of life by adopting dementia friendly practices and goals.

Meetings are being held at the Jasper Public Library to advance the initiative, starting at 10:30 am on the second Tuesday of each month.
