Audubon Area Community Services, Inc. Community Services Block Grant
2020-2021 Community Needs Assessment
I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. Introduction
Audubon Area Community Services, Inc., headquartered in Owensboro, Kentucky, is a 1975
consolidation of two agencies – one based in Henderson, the other in Owensboro – both founded in
1966. In 1975, the agency served the seven-county Green River area and had approximately $1 million
in funding and sixty-five staff members. Currently the agency serves the primary, seven county Green
River District, however, Audubon has some program operations in forty-two counties throughout the
Commonwealth, including the services areas of Barren River, Cumberland, Pennyrile, Purchase, Lincoln
Trail, and Salt River, with over $50 million in funding and more than 600 employees.
Audubon Area Community Services is the largest of twenty-three community action agencies serving the
residents of Kentucky. Community action agencies are federally designated entities originating from
President Johnson’s “War on Poverty.” As a community action agency, Audubon Area is a private,
nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation governed by a tri-partite, twenty-four member board of directors
consisting of the consumers of agency services, elected public officials, and the private sector - business
people, educators or representatives of local organizations.
In addition to its designation as a community action agency under federal law, Audubon Area
Community Services, Inc. is also a Special District of the Commonwealth of Kentucky under KRS 65.005,
meaning it is organized for the purpose of performing governmental or other prescribed functions
within limited boundaries.

A Comprehensive Community Needs Assessment was conducted from July 1, 2019, through March 1,
2020, by staff of the organization in conjunction with the Community Services Block (CSBG)
requirements and as a resource for AACS, and other collaborative partners, to ascertain critical needs in
the AACS service area, as identified by community members, consumers, stakeholders, and service
providers, to enable AACS to continue adapting programs and services to best meet community needs.
A community assessment is a systematic process for creating a profile of the needs and resources of a
given community or target population” (Richmond & Mooney, 2012, p. 21). In addition, our funder, the
Cabinet for Health and Family Services, Department for Community Based Services, requires the agency
to complete a community needs assessment annually.
Section 676(b)(11), of the CSBG Act states “...an assurance that the State will secure from each eligible
entity in the State…a community action plan…that includes a community needs assessment for the
community served, which may be coordinated with community needs assessments conducted for other
programs…” A community needs assessment establishes a profile of a community, noting both needs as
well as community resources available.
Findings from this assessment will be used to assist Audubon Area Community Services to continue to
deliver high quality services and promote the National Community Action Network Theory of Change
Goals:
• Individuals and families with low incomes are stable and achieve economic security;
• Communities where people with low incomes live are healthy and offer economic
opportunity;
• People with low incomes are engaged and active in building opportunities in communities.
The current service area has a span of seven counties which include:
Daviess County Hancock County
Henderson County McLean County
Ohio County Union County
Webster County
Audubon Area Community Services offers programming in the larger areas of Social Support
Services, Early Childhood Education, Housing, Transportation, and Employment Services.

As of March 1, 2020, Audubon Area Community Services has a total of 88 worksite locations across a 46
county service area, employing 695 staff members and impacting the lives of over 41,000 Kentuckians
all across the Commonwealth as we uphold our mission of:
“Helping people in poverty and beyond to reach self-sufficiency by changing lives through providing
services, advocacy, and partnering to strengthen communities throughout Kentucky.”
Our central office is located in Owensboro, Daviess County at:

B. Methodology
Multiple sources of quantitative and qualitative data were utilized to develop as clear a picture as
possible on regarding the health, wellbeing, and self-sufficiency of our area. Quantitative data was
primarily mined through the CARES Engagement Network platform, an online depository for
demographic information from available standardize data resources located at
https://engagementnetwork.org/assessment/. CARES Engagement Network utilizes sources such as the
US Census Bureau (Decennial 2000 and 2010 Census and the American Community Survey 2014-2018
five year estimates), the US Department of Education, National Education Center for Educational
Statistics; the US Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families;
the Department of Health and Human Services Bureau of Primary Health Care; the US Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention; US Department of Transportation, US Department of Labor, Bureau of
Labor Statistics; the Federal Reserve; and the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. In
addition, numerous state, local and agency databases were referenced to gather a clear picture of the
demographics of the service area.
Qualitative data was collected in the form of a survey of clients, consumers, stakeholders,
employees, community leaders, faith-based representatives, elected officials, and board members
of the Audubon Area Community Services CSBG service area. Surveys were collected between July
1, 2018 and March 1, 2019, in both written and online formats. The survey was accessible online
via Survey Monkey via the Audubon Area Community Services, Inc. website,
https://www.audubon-area.com/, under the Community Needs Assessment link located at
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/TLDLGMN-CNA, and requested feedback regarding needs of the
community, contributing factors to poverty, and areas of focus for growth in programming.
Qualitative data was also gathered through the hosting of six1 community forum group meetings
throughout the region beginning January 28, 2020 through March 19, 2020. A wide range of
stakeholders, representative of each county and community Audubon Area Community Services
serves was invited to attend their county forums. Guided discussions were conducted and the
verbal responses of participants were recorded and later analyzed to discern themes from
participants regarding the impacts of poverty, strengths of communities, areas to improve and
partners in the community to collaborate. Forums were moderated by Audubon Area staff who
guided the attendees through a standardized questions, which included: What are some of the
greatest needs that low-income persons face in our community? What are the effects of these
struggles/needs on families and individuals? Of the needs that we have identified, what do you
think are the top 5 needs? What current solutions, ideas, or resources are now in place to work on
improving these issues? And, what top three community improvements do you think our agency or
the community should focus on?

Services. Community Forum Group meetings were coordinated and conducted under the direction
of Angela Ditch, Community Services Manager. Finally, survey data was gathered via a survey
located at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/TLDLGMN-CNA, and maintained by Community
Action Kentucky (CAK), a statewide association representing and assisting the 23 community action
agencies throughout the Commonwealth.

Analysis of Forum Responses
In each county of the Audubon Area Community Services CSBG service area, focus groups felt there was
a lack of coordinated services and communications that are targeted toward collaboration opportunities
to inform the local population and inform of services. Specifically, there were multiple groups vocalizing
a lack of coordinated community services providers working toward targeted goals such as child care,
asset building, workforce development, and transportation services. Multiple counties expressed
concerned regarding lack of coordinated care or lack of knowledge of available resources for
communities to access. In many instances, Audubon Area Community Services staff were requested to
facilitate asset mapping exercises and larger scale community discussions to target assets and produce
tangible results for access in each community. Audubon Area can coordinate with stakeholders like the
two United Way entities in the coming year to work on this outcome.
Housing needs and growing homelessness needs in the region was a consistent need of all counties and
was the largest targeted need based upon quantitative and qualitative research. HUD funding
opportunities are not easily accessible, therefore, more homegrown options and collaborative sharing
projects, like what was mentioned in both Hancock and Henderson County forums may be a more viable
suggestion.
Lack of affordable and consistent transportation services was a targeted need in six of seven county
forums. In particular, the issue of flexibility availability and off-working hours, like evening/second and
third shift hours and rural transportation and regular rural transportation routes for the local workforce
to sustain employment. GRITS transportation program administrators and administrative Audubon Area
Community Services staff will work to convene meetings with county officials to further discuss issues
and possible solutions.
Local economies, according to most participants, are somewhat stagnate and most counties lack
employers offering adequate living wage employment opportunities. 2 Associated in most forums were a
lack of supportive services that would increase the employment abilities of the citizens, particularly child
care services and job and technical skill training services, as well as joint discussions among workforce
and economic development and local chambers of commerce.
In addition, there appears to be an increase in difficulties for families to meet daily basic needs:
adequate food supplies, emergency energy assistance, and coordinated social support programs. These
options appear to warrant further study and collaboration among partners toward targeted solutions.
Lack of mental health and substance abuse services was a prevalent concern in all communities.
Although the Green River Area is not plagued with the significant opioid abuse epidemic other parts of
the state, the region is still battling substance abuse issues of its own around alcohol and
methamphetamine abuse. Without resources to combat substance use disorders and a growth in
providers trained to assist impacted citizens of the area, mental health issues and substance abuse
disorders will continue to damage families and communities in the coming years.
2 http://livingwage.mit.edu/states/21 Kentucky living wage for a full-time working adult with two children is $29.01 per hour.
14 | P a g e
Finally, in closing, we would be remiss to look passed the current state of affairs and the COVID-19
outbreak. With federal and state guidance to stay in place, record unemployment and layoffs occurring
daily, and an economy screeching to a halt, the needs of the low income, and or, the new temporarily
low income will reach a heighted pitch in the coming days. Agencies such as Audubon Area Community
Services, and other community partners, with focus toward emergency needs, food resources, utility
assistance, multiple support platforms, and transportation programming, will become critical in helping
the community push itself forward. As funding mechanisms come into place, a coordinated community
response with other service oriented entities and state and local government will be vital to helping
communities get back on their feet in the days and months to come.

Household Composition
This indicator reports the total number and percentage of households by composition (married couple family, nonfamily, etc.). According to the American Community Survey subject definitions, a family household is any housing unit in which the householder is living with one or more individuals related to him or her by birth, marriage, or adoption*. A non‐family household is any household occupied by the householder alone, or by the householder and one or more unrelated individuals. *Family households and married‐couple families do not include same‐sex married couples even if the marriage was performed in a state issuing marriage certificates for same‐sex couples. Same sex couple households are included in the family households category if there is at least one additional person related to the householder by birth or adoption.

c) SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC STATUS OF THE SERVICE AREA
Economic and social insecurity often are associated with poor health. Poverty, unemployment, and lack of educational achievement affect access to care and a community’s ability to engage in healthy behaviors.

III. COUNTY SPECIFIC INFORMATION
DAVIESS COUNTY
1. BRIEF HISTORY
Daviess County, the 58th county in order of formation, was formed from a part of Ohio County in 1815. It was
named in honor of Colonel Joseph Hamilton Daviess, an area landowner and lawyer killed at the Battle of
Tippecanoe. The enrolling clerk misspelled the county’s name, a mistake later corrected by the General
Assembly, but the error continues. The residents were Confederates, and before the Civil War, more than 20
percent of the county’s population was slaves. Woodworking industries thrived in heavily timbered areas until
the draining of the Panther Creek bottoms in the 1920’s.
Nearly half of the population lives in or near Owensboro, the county seat. Today the county is part of the Corn
Belt area, where most of the country’s corn is grown.
2. GEOGRAPHIC DESCRIPTION
Located completely within the Western Kentucky Coal Field, Daviess County is bordered to the north by the Ohio
River, and adjoins Hancock, Ohio, McLean, and Henderson Counties. Its 463 square miles are mostly land used
agriculturally.

HANCOCK COUNTY
1. BRIEF HISTORY
Hancock County is the 83rd county in order of formation. It was formed on January 3, 1829, from parts of Ohio,
Breckinridge, and Daviess counties and named in honor of John Hancock, president of the Continental Congress
and signer of the Declaration of Independence. Early settlers farmed the land and mined coal.
The population peaked in the 1890’s, when the coal and timber industries were stimulated by the crossing of
the railroad through the county. Soon residents started leaving due to soil erosion, the lure of city jobs, and new
coal developments elsewhere. Hancock County was transformed in the 1950’s with the opening of several
plants, making it one of the most industrialized rural counties in the state.
Hawesville, in the northern part of the county along the Ohio River, has been the county seat since 1829.
2. GEOGRAPHIC DESCRIPTION
Hancock County is located in the Western Coal Field region of the state along the Ohio River. It is bordered by
Daviess, Ohio, and Breckinridge counties and has an area of 189 square miles.

HENDERSON COUNTY
1. BRIEF HISTORY
Henderson County is the 38th county in order of formation. It was first settled around 1791. Settlers were
initially deterred by Indians and outlaws, but were eventually drawn to the area’s rich farming land. In the early
1800’s, the county seat, Henderson, was made an inspection point for tobacco and other products that shipped
out of the region on the neighboring Ohio River. During the Civil War, the county was subjected to Confederate
raids and occasional Union occupation.
In the 1930’s, before the advent of interstate highways, Henderson County was a stopping point on one of the
most heavily-traveled north-south roads. As a result of the tourist traffic, the John James Audubon State Park
was established. The namesake county seat of Henderson sits on along the Ohio River on the northern portion

MCLEAN COUNTY
1. BRIEF HISTORY
McLean County is the 103rd county in order of formation. It was named after Alney McLean, a veteran of the War
of 1812, state representative and congressman. The county’s varied history includes Indian attacks on the first
settlers, who retreated to caves they dug in the hillside near present-day Calhoun; riverboat traffic on the Green
River; several Civil War conflicts; and the dubious honor of being the home of the first United States casualty during
World War I. The county seat is Calhoun.
2. GEOGRAPHIC DESCRIPTION
McLean County’s 256 square miles are at the heart of the Western Coal Field Region. The county is bordered by
Daviess, Ohio, Muhlenberg, Hopkins, Webster, and Henderson Counties. The Green River forms a portion of the
eastern border and dissects the county.

OHIO COUNTY
1. BRIEF HISTORY
Ohio County is the 35th county in order of formation. The county was established from part of Hardin County on
December 17, 1798, and was named for the Ohio River, which formed its northern boundary until Daviess County
(1815) and Hancock County (1829) were created from it. Daniel Boone was one of the first explorers in the area.
Early pioneers had to contend with attacking Indians, anxious to protect their long-held land. In the 1930’s
excavations at the Indian Knoll burial mounds yielded over 1,200 skeletons.
River traffic on the Green and Rough rivers is credited with the county’s early growth. This was disrupted by the
Civil War and virtually ended with the arrival of the railroad in the 1870’s.
The economy is a mixture of coal mining, agriculture, and oil. The county seat is Hartford.
2. GEOGRAPHIC DESCRIPTION
Ohio County is in the Western Coal Field Region of Kentucky, surrounded by Breckinridge, Hancock, Grayson,
Butler, Muhlenberg, McLean, and Daviess counties. Its square miles total 596. The county’s topography is
undulating and well suited for agriculture.

UNION COUNTY
1. BRIEF HISTORY
Union County is the 56th county in order of formation. It was formed from part of Henderson County on January
15, 1811, and was probably named for the unanimous agreement of its citizens to create a new county.
Morganfield is the county seat. Union County was settled during the westward migration following the
Revolutionary War. The county had a considerable slave population prior to the Civil War, and in 1862, Union
troops took all residents of Caseyville prisoners on charges of treason. During World War II, more than 1,300
prisoners of war were interned at the Camp Breckinridge Training Center.
The county is the site of numerous Indian burial and ceremonial mounds. After the desecration of more than
1,000 graves in 1987, which prompted the Kentucky General Assembly to make such looting a class D felony,
several hundred Indians conducted a reburial service.
2. GEOGRAPHIC DESCRIPTION
Union County is bordered by Henderson, Webster, and Crittenden counties, and to the west by the Ohio River.
Union County covers an area of 343 square miles, ranging from level to hilly. Most of the land is used for
agricultural purposes, to which it is well suited.

WEBSTER COUNTY
1. BRIEF HISTORY
Webster County is the 109th county in order of formation. The county was created on July 1, 1860, from
portions of Henderson, Hopkins, and Union counties and was named for Daniel Webster, U.S.
Congressman, Senator, and Secretary of State. The county seat is Dixon.
Webster County was probably settled by Revolutionary War veteran William Jenkins. Kentucky’s first
battle of the Civil War, the Battle of Burnt Mill, was fought in the county.
Webster County’s prosperity depends on its fertile land and natural resources. Surface mining is vital to the
local economy, and 90 percent of the farming income is derived from corn and soybean production. Dixon
has been the county seat since the county’s creation in 1861. However, Providence is the largest
community, home to almost a third of Webster County’s residents.
2. GEOGRAPHIC DESCRIPTION
Webster County is surrounded by Henderson, McLean, Hopkins, Crittenden, and Union counties. Its eastern
border of the Green River and its western border of the Tradewater River are divided by a ridge that runs
through the middle of the county. The ridge divides the watersheds of the two rivers. Webster County’s
square miles total 336.
