for policy makers, government leaders, and for those who invest in and provide local <br />services. <br /> <br />Needs Assessment/State of Caring Report <br />The planning for the Community Needs and Assets Study began in August 2003 when <br />United Way board members, community leaders, and staff from United Way, Cities of <br />Eugene and Springfield, and Lane County met to craft the survey instrument and <br />determine how the data would be gathered. A series of meetings was held from that <br />point through February 2004 when the survey instrument and method were finalized. <br />City staff was able to insert two housing specific questions into the final document. <br /> <br />This comprehensive report assesses the community needs of Lane County through data <br />received from over 1,200 phone surveys with citizens of Lane County. The surveys <br />were administered by Mar%Stat Research, an independent research organization, in <br />March 2004. The sample was scientifically drawn on an every nth basis from the most <br />current published telephone lists. Only one respondent per household was surveyed. <br />The results of the survey were published in the 2004 State of Caring Report for Lane <br />County which is included in the Appendix section of this plan. <br /> <br />Interactive Group Process to Identify Emerging Themes and Priorities <br />In April 2004, a group of 21 community leaders from City management, health care, <br />social services, and housing providers met for a round table discussion to take the first <br />look at the data gathered from the Needs Assessment survey. The group's analysis of <br />the data identified high priority needs in the community and a plan to involve community <br />partners and focus social capital. <br /> <br />Informational Event/Community Involvement <br />On June 11, 2004, the Lane County 2004 State of Caring Report was officially released <br />to a crowd of over 70 community leaders, elected officials, agency directors, key <br />business leaders, policy makers, and citizens. The survey methodology and findings <br />were presented with a special concentration on some areas of highest needs in our <br />community such as medical care, housing, and the needs of the working poor. A lively <br />conversation surrounding each topic was facilitated by a representative from that <br />particular area of need. The information gathered from the discussion was recorded and <br />attendees filled out cards indicating interest and desire to continue the discussion in one <br />or more of the areas of need that were presented. <br /> <br />Ongoing Community Involvement/Focus Groups <br />The interest cards from the June 11th meeting were used to form focus groups that met <br />to address issues in the areas identified as high need. <br /> <br />Heightening Awareness of Community Needs <br />A summary of the 2004 State of Caring Report was released as an insert in the <br />Saturday, July 31, 2004, Register Guard to 83,700 subscribers. It also appeared in the <br />Siuslaw News and Cottage Grove Sentinel on July 31st and August 4th, respectively. <br /> <br />In addition, the findings from the State of Caring Report were presented to the City Club <br />on November 5, 2004. Eugene's City Club mission is to build community vision through <br />open inquiry. The United Way website, www. unitedwa¥1ane.or.q, contains a full <br />complement of reports from the data collected for the Needs Assessment/State of <br /> <br /> <br />
