Sno-Valley Data

A Supportive Community For All hired BERK Consulting to conduct a Community Needs Assessment in 2019. The purpose of the Community Needs Assessment was to provide foundational information on the unique needs of valley residents to inform efforts to effectively coordinate the delivery of human services.

The top local needs identified through the assessment included:

• Supports for older adults, veterans, and youth
• Mental health support 
• Stronger community connections to increase social cohesion and understanding 
• Regionally: Transportation and housing

Some of the barriers included:

• Lack of awareness around what services are available
• The complexity of navigating available services
• An ethos of self-reliance that deters people from seeking help
• A lack of anonymity in accessing services because of the small-town nature of the Sno-Valley
• Locations of services
