Comprehensive Community Needs Assessment

The Comprehensive Community Needs Assessment was undertaken by the Community Shelter Board in order to learn more about the needs of homeless persons in Franklin County; to assess the existing "continuum of care;" and to identify strategies for action.  The recommendations in the Needs Assessment require a coordinated response among key community systems - those that fund and provide housing, transportation, training and employment services, mental health and substatnce abuse services, and services for children and families.  The recommendations are based on a fundamental principle:  safe, adequate and affordable housing is a basic human need, and enabling all residents to meet this need is essential to sustaining a healthy community.
