Survey to assess community needs
Monday, April 20, 2015 by Mark Richardson
The Austin/Travis County Health and Human Services Department must conduct an assessment to identify and prioritize needs in the community, as required by federal Community Services Block Grant funds the area receives. The federal funds provide support for basic needs, employment support, case management and preventive health services through the department’s six neighborhood centers and three outreach locations. Staff is seeking residents to take the survey to provide input on their community’s pressing needs. For more information, please contact Bianca Enriquez or call 512-972-5014. Take the survey here.
