Report Summary
Circulate San Diego supported the County of San Diego to prepare a Community Needs Assessment as a part of their compliance with federal funding programs.
The County of San Diego, Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA), Community Action Partnership (CAP), develops a services plan (CAP Plan) every two years that is informed through a Community Needs Assessment with the focus of capturing the voice of the community. The Assessment is conducted with the goal of obtaining resident data and identifying needs and priorities to guide the direction of CAP’s investment of resources, including the use of San Diego County’s allocation of Community Service Block Grant (CSBG) funding.
Promotion and advertising for the input activities were extensive and included weekly social media posts, reminder emails, project promotion through the Circulate San Diego newsletter that reaches over 7,000 individuals, promotion through partner organizations, presentations about the project during community meetings around the County, and word of mouth during public events when possible.
