  2. Community Needs Assessment 2010 The United Way of Mid & South Jefferson County is dedicated to improving the quality of the life in the Mid & South Jefferson County area by funding and implementing local programs that address community needs. In order to identify the most critical needs in the Mid & South Jefferson County area, the United Way MSJC conducted a Community Needs Assessment.

  3. Community Needs Assessment 2010 United Way MSJC will use the information from the Community Needs Assessment (CNA) as a tool in determining funding for existing programs. The CNA results will also help determine funding for new programs and initiatives that address unmet or under-met needs. 2010 CNA Study was conducted by Dakota Doman, Robert M. Tinstman Fellowship Award Winner.

  4. Survey Distribution • The official survey was constructed using a Professional Account with SurveyMonkey. • The survey was only produced in English. • The survey was available on paper and online. • An email list was procured from the Port Arthur and Nederland Chambers of Commerce.

Results • United Way MSJC looked exclusively at perceived needs in Mid & South Jefferson County. • In a focused effort, 28 needs were listed, and respondents were asked to rank the criticality of each need. • Respondents were given an opportunity to write in their own perceived top human service needs in the community.
