2022 Northeast Florida Veteran & Family Needs Assessment
WJCT News | By Raymon Troncoso
A comprehensive survey of First Coast veterans is underway, aiming to identify critical needs in the community for veterans and their families.
The anonymous 2022 Northeast Florida Veteran and Family Needs Assessment is the product of Endeavors, a nonprofit that conducts relief programs, including veterans services. Endeavors is partnering with Jacksonville, the University of North Florida and the Combined Arms Institute.
Endeavors, which also aims to build a veterans wellness center in Jacksonville using city dollars along with state and federal grants, is funding the survey. Combined Arms is providing metrics and analysis, as well as a public report based on the data to be released in November. The assessment is being conducted and reviewed by UNF’s Center for Community Initiatives. Jacksonville officials will help facilitate outreach and potentially use the data for future policy decisions.
The survey can be taken online at this link.
