Community Needs Assessment

Services and Housing In the Province (SHIP) is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a consultant. The purpose of this project is to engage the services of a consultant to assist with the development of a Needs Assessment for SHIP by conduct an environmental scan, reviewing prevalence of risk factors that lead to health issues and impact of the determinants of health, reviewing sectoral trends, holding focus groups and reviewing internal metrics of client met and unmet needs.

Success will include a detailed report summarizing and documenting the review of findings along with short, medium and long-term recommendations on how best to meet the needs of community members. The objective of the plan is identification of the most important needs of SHIPs population to develop targeted services with better measureable outcomes.
