The Community Assets/Needs Assessment of Wexford/Missaukee Counties is a community collaborative committed to working together to develop and implement

a community action plan for identified priorities. The CANA Steering Committee is chaired by the United Way of Wexford County. The CANA Executive Committee is made up of the United Way of Wexford County, The Cadillac Area Community Foundation, and the Multi-Purpose Collaborative Body of Wexford/Missaukee Counties. The Community Partnership includes over 50 organizations.

Based upon Community-Building Principles using the COMPASS II guide, CANA has formed a wide community partnership, surveyed community needs, collected indicator data, and determined top priorities for action planning. Five priorities have been identified as of May 2003. Three Action Teams are currently being formed to address the issues. Please contact the United Way office to join this community wide effort.

FIVE CRITICAL COMMUNITY PRIORITIES:

• Increase Access to Healthcare
• Increase Affordable Housing
• Increase Economic Security
• Encourage and Support Healthy Lifestyles
• Increase Positive Development of Youth
