ASSIGNMENT | Identifying the needs in the Child welfare system

SETP 1: Identify the need and create your organization

Based upon a community needs Assessment, determine what gaps in service exists in your community. Your instructor will help identify sources of a needs assessment or community plan that outlines such recent research. A united way agency may be a good starting point. If no local community needs assessment has been formally conducted, choose a service that you have good reason to believe is needed in your community. Then you will spend the next 8 weeks developing a step by step approach to creating a new human services agency to serve this population. In this first step, you will decide what type of agency and service you want to develop. Think about vulnerable populations that may be underserved such as aging adults, homeless mothers and their children, runaway youth, chronically unemployed and impoverished adults, drug and alcohol addicted teens, disabled children and adults, mentally ill people, and families who lack sufficient financial resources to meet their needs.
