Read Part 1 : Community Needs Assessment
The purpose of this assignment is to understand how needs assessment and policy research are conducted by using available secondary data in a community. It gives an opportunity to apply research skills and assess the four core values in distributing public assistance: Equality, Equity, Adequacy, and Effectiveness.
Conduct a needs assessment of your community using secondary data from the last three years. In a 3 page paper, identify the top three needs as identified through your analysis of data. Identify the source of your data.
Identify the demographics of populations affected. What has been done in your community to address these needs? If you were consulted for your input, what recommendation would you propose? From the four indicators, equality, equity, adequacy, effectiveness, what will your recommendations attempt to accomplish?
