Santa Barbara County residents urged to take part of community needs assessment survey to address unmet needs

SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, Calif. – CommUnify is looking to identify unmet needs and challenges in the Santa Barbara County community by asking residents to complete a community needs assessment through an online survey and meetings with key groups countywide.

CommUnify works to serve the most vulnerable populations in Santa Barbara County through education and coordinated services so that those populations can achieve economic stability and thrive, said spokeswoman Joni Kelly.

To help complete that goal, the organization is conducting a community needs assessment so it can identify pressing needs and partner with the community to find solutions and resources to address the challenges residents face, Kelly said.
