Northern Lakes Community Mental Health Community Collaborative Coordinator Ken Nydam said the survey and the results will be used by the Coalition for Poverty Reduction to formulate a report.
“In order to make a report to the community, we are collecting the data that will give us that information. That is done through a survey,” Nydam said. “We are going to all the agencies with interaction with people on or near poverty level. The survey is pretty comprehensive and covers all areas of life.”
