Community Assessment

Community assessment is a process used to understand the strengths, needs, and resources of a community. It involves collecting and analyzing information about factors like health, education, safety, social services, and economic conditions. The goal is to identify issues that residents face and determine what support or improvements are needed. This helps organizations, policymakers, and residents work together to develop effective strategies, allocate resources wisely, and promote overall well-being within the community. Essentially, it provides a comprehensive picture of what is happening locally to inform better decision-making.
