2026-2028 Strategic Plan
Aligning services with community needs.
Scott Carver Dakota CAP Agency’s 2026-2028 Strategic Plan was developed through a comprehensive review of the 2025 Community Needs Assessment, incorporating client feedback, community partner input, local data, and guidance from the Board of Directors. The plan aligns our services and resources with the needs facing individuals and families throughout Scott, Carver, and Dakota counties.
Guided by our vision of a strong and healthy community of connected individuals and families with access to high-quality education, healthy food, and safe and stable housing, CAP will focus on five strategic priorities through 2028.
Housing Stability
We will preserve and strengthen housing stabilization services, homelessness prevention efforts, energy assistance programs, and supportive services that help seniors remain safely in their homes.
Food Security
We will maintain and strengthen food distribution and nutrition services while expanding access for underserved communities and supporting older adults experiencing food insecurity.
Education
Through Head Start and Early Head Start, we will continue providing high-quality early childhood education, supporting school readiness, family stability, and long-term opportunities for children and families.
Organizational Sustainability
We will strengthen our financial stewardship, governance, and operational infrastructure to ensure CAP remains a trusted and sustainable community resource for years to come.
Adaptive Capacity & Community Responsiveness
We will maintain the flexibility and readiness needed to respond to emerging community needs, working collaboratively with local partners while ensuring responsible stewardship of public and private resources.
By focusing on these priorities, Scott Carver Dakota CAP Agency will continue to carry out our mission: CAP Agency assists and empowers people to achieve social and economic well-being in partnership with our community.
Community Needs Assessment
Understanding local needs and priorities.
This Community Needs Assessment is developed through a collaborative process with participation from a broad cross section of CAP Agency staff, Board of Directors, community partners, and Scott, Carver, and Dakota residents.
This process enables the production of a strategic plan that accurately reflects community needs and action steps to bring CAP Agency and its clients closer to achievement of the mission of self-sufficiency.
The needs listed below were obtained by asking respondents open-ended questions. Their responses help CAP Agency understand which needs are a priority to the community and where programming could be expanded.
