I <br /> 1 . (Continued) <br /> need to be constantly reviewed. <br /> 4) As time passes there are new needs which emerge and old needs which may <br /> have changed, perhaps through current interventions themselves . However, <br /> I wonder if you will be able to keep needs assessment separate from service <br /> assessment, and even if it is desirable. <br /> 5) A number of "needs assessments" have already been done. By taking the <br /> results of the Town's needs assessment of last year, other surveys which hi <br /> been done since that time, the United Fund's recent assessment and demographic <br /> data an adequate assessment already exists. Text step is to assess services , <br /> compare with needs , identify gaps , then prioritize services for future. <br /> Although much has been said about coordination, there are still no concrete <br /> methods for assuring coordination between agencies (other than an annual <br /> conference) . HSAC is too slow and does not include everyone. Need a commit- <br /> ment from agencies ( including those outside HSAC) to cooperate and coordin- <br /> ate. Perhaps portion of conference could be devoted to this. <br /> 6) I think we need some baseline data to work from; I 'd like to address all <br /> the topics above, but time may be too limited for one conference. (Also, I <br /> consider service assessment to be part of needs assessment. ) <br /> 7) I consider items 1 and 7#2 as absolutely necessary given the apparent <br /> regressive mood of the taxpayers , bond failures , inflation 's bitter crunch, <br /> and 1980 being an election year. <br /> 8) To fill a fundamental informational need in order adequately to provide <br /> social services by both private and public agencies. <br /> 3.
