Community experiencing the condition
This section allows your committee to assess the community experiencing the condition/problem. Northeast Florida Counts contains many links to relevant data sources. This section includes information such as, but not limited to, the following.
Description of the community experiencing the condition in terms of geography, citizens (age, gender, ethnicity, income, etc.) values, beliefs, stories, myths, and any other feature you feel is important. The assessment can be of a geographic or interest based community, or combination of both. What makes the community a community according to class readings? Who views the community as a community and who does not. Data sources vary from demographics about the community to opinions by a typical resident. A drive or walk around is suggested if it makes sense.
What evidence exists that the community is experiencing the condition/problem, e.g., stories in the media, testimony before committees, expert opinion, beliefs, comparisons to national norms, secondary data, primary data, etc. Try to tie the characteristics of the community mentioned in item #1 above to the characteristics of the condition/problem or typical community experiencing the condition in section 1. For example, if you know that a certain ethnic group has a low rate of domestic violence and that ethnic group dominates your community, you would expect low domestic violence and fewer needed services.
What community forces support change and what forces oppose change? For example, one force is community values. Another discussed throughout this course is diversity. You might discuss the diversity of you community in terms of culture, age, income, and education and whether that diversity is a capacity or need.
What stakeholders are associated with this condition/problem in the community? Discuss each stakeholder's proclivity for and against intervening in the condition/problem.
The capacities, needs, and barriers identified in this section of the assessment.
Current service delivery system
Before you can intervene into the condition/problem your community is experiencing, you need to understand the existing service delivery system. This section contains information such as, but not limited to, the following:
A list of agencies/programs and their services under the headings in your continuum of care. Often an inventory of existing agencies can be developed.
For the five most relevant service providers, list the agency name, location, mission,
programs, services.
A detailed analysis of one major agency. Provide the vision, mission, goals, objectives, service programs, the number served in each program, the number on waiting lists for each program, organizational chart, budget, and evaluation mechanisms. Include any conclusions you are able to make about the agency in terms of capacities, needs, barriers, and recommended changes.
