Need Assessments
For this discussion, research existing needs assessments on the local level in your community, state, or federal level related to a social problem and potential human services program that you are interested in addressing in your human services career.
Please respond to the following:
What is the purpose of a needs assessment in developing a new program or improving an existing program?
Summarize the results of your research.
What are some unmet needs or gaps in service delivery related to your social problem?
If you were to continue researching community needs, how would you measure need, and how would you collect the data?
How would you identify needs or gaps in the service delivery and conduct needs assessments?
