Project Description
We conducted a comprehensive community needs assessment for this growing college and high-tech community to guide the prioritization of social impact investments. The analysis included an assessment of gaps related to various components of social sustainability, including, but not limited to, housing, homelessness, poverty, health, wellness, education, diversity, and the needs of special populations. The report also highlighted many different programs and initiatives working to address these community needs. In 2020, we provided a comprehensive update to that report including interviews with service agencies and updated data modeling.
Year: 2016 and 2020
Unique aspect of this study
Our study defined the characteristics of a socially sustainable city and helped Fort Collins develop strategies to achieve this vision, focusing on reducing poverty and increasing access to services, health care, amenities, education, and job opportunities for all residents.
