Family self-sufficiency data center: Needs assessment report

This report presents findings from a needs assessment conducted by the Family Self-Sufficiency Data Center. As an initial activity, the Data Center obtained input from key stakeholders regarding their current capacity, challenges, and needs with family self-sufficiency data. The team conducted interviews and focus groups to learn about how stakeholders currently use data and research to inform family self- sufficiency programs and what assistance stakeholders need with respect to data and research.

This work is the result of a cooperative agreement awarded to the University of Chicago to support the development, implementation, and ongoing operations of a data center to support family self-sufficiency research and activities. (author abstract)
