Every 3-5 years, United Way of Madison County conducts a Community Needs Assessment, which is an essential step in understanding the most significant challenges facing our community.

Their selection of Neighborhood Concepts and other organizations as Partner Agencies for the 2026-2027 year reflects a commitment to increase the affordability and accessibility of housing in Madison County, which they found to be a major issue.

“These partnerships also signal a shared commitment to ensuring Madison County remains a place where every individual and family has the chance to live, work, and thrive.”
