Clark County's Community Action Advisory Board (CAAB) has officially approved its 2025 Work Plan, emphasizing a renewed commitment to equity and community engagement. During the meeting held on January 1, 2025, board members discussed key initiatives aimed at enhancing support for local programs and services.

The 2025 Work Plan outlines ongoing efforts and introduces specific focuses, including increased board-driven equity initiatives and the publication of a community action report. This report, which had been a regular feature in previous years, is set to return as a priority for the board, aiming to keep the community informed and engaged.

In addition to these initiatives, the board will conduct regular program updates from service providers at each meeting, with a significant finance update scheduled for May. Notably, the CAAB will review applications for funding in March and April, necessitating longer meeting times to accommodate presentations from 36 applicants for the Community Action Program (CAP) and Housing and Community Resource Services (HCRS) programs.

The board also addressed the scheduling of equity training sessions, confirming that the April training will be replaced by the application presentations. The last two equity training sessions for the year are set for February and June, after which the board will resume its regular bimonthly business meetings.

The approval of the work plan was unanimous, reflecting a collective commitment to the outlined goals and the importance of community involvement in the decision-making process. As the CAAB moves forward, the focus on equity and community action is expected to foster greater collaboration and support for local initiatives throughout Clark County.
