There are several NeighborWorks organizations in MN, IA and WI. Southwest Minnesota Housing Partnership is probably closest to you (http://nw.org/network/Utilities/NWOlookup.asp). They all have done community impact measurement survey and community observation work in this past year. Here are a couple more questions recommended by NeighborWorks America to measure empowerment related impact.
