The United Way of Southern Chautauqua County has completed a number of planning studies with local data trends and community characteristics including:
- The Southern Chautauqua County Human Services Status Report – 1991
- Community Report Card & Companion Indicators for Community Action – 1997
- Community Report Card – 2006
Earlier reports focused primarily on the data, with limited recommendations for action. For this project, the data is a starting point and will serve as a basis for a series of Community Conversations designed to identify Community Priorities and search for solutions in an effort to achieve an optimum quality of life for all residents.
COMMUNITY STATUS REPORT -----> CONVERSATIONS -----> PRIORITIES -----> SOLUTIONS
This report will provide a brief overview of trends but will be more virtual with links to various data sources. This will allow for greater flexibility, access and most current information for all users.
This report was prepared by Patricia A. Smith, president of Management Strategies under the direction of Tory Irgang, Executive Director of the United Way of Chautauqua County and members of the Council for Community Building at the United Way.
Special thanks are extended to all who provide information and/or current data sources, or who served as content expert reviewers or participated in the community conversations designed to identify priorities.
