Description

The Center for Collaborative Change is proud to present the final results from our 2012-13 Newark Community Needs Assessment. The Needs Assessment is a combination of primary and secondary research including two surveys and a series of practitioner interviews conducted by the Center over the course of 18 months.

The Physical Wellbeing Section has two subsections: one on Crime and Public Safety, and the other on Health. The Economic Wellbeing Section has three subsections: Housing and Healthy Neighborhoods, Economy, and Education. The Civic Wellbeing Section has two subsections: Civic Culture and Civic Ecosystem. Each subsection begins with a definition of wellbeing for that chapter followed by a summary of findings, a graphic depiction of publicly available data, then original data (collected from residents and practitioners throughout the city) and finally some written analysis. Some subsections group the data into additional sub-areas. The introduction and methodology section found at the beginning explains our methods, controls and the limitations of this study.

Sections include:

– Introduction, Methodology, Apendices
– Physical Wellbeing: Crime_and_Public_Safety, Health
– Economic Wellbeing: Housing and Healthy Neighborhoods, Economy, Education
– Civic Wellbeing: Civic Culture, Civic Ecosystem
