Creating a robust program that avoids duplicating existing services and effectively addresses
the City of Oshkosh/Fox Valley's unmet needs involves a comprehensive approach.Here's a
step-by-step plan,incorporating data-driven strategies:
First,Reach Counseling will conduct a thorough needs assessment of the City of Oshkosh/Fox
Valley.We will conduct surveys,roundtables,and focus group discussions with a diverse group
of community members.Through these efforts,we will identify gaps and unmet needs in terms
of desires from community partners,demographics,geographic locations,and specific service
programs and areas.Our program will engage with local stakeholders,including community
leaders,service providers,and residents,to gain qualitative insights into their perceptions of
existing services and unmet needs.This will include collecting feedback on the effectiveness
and accessibility of current programs.
Second,we will create a comprehensive map of existing services within the City of
Oshkosh/Fox Valley.This will include public and private organizations and government agencies
providing relevant services.Our team will categorize services based on type,target population,
and geographic coverage.We will analyze data to identify areas where existing services might
be insufficient or where there's an overconcentration of services.We will look for patterns that
suggest underrepresented demographics or geographic areas with limited access to necessary
resources.
Third,our efforts will foster collaboration between different service providers to ensure efficient
use of resources and avoid duplication.Our program will establish a coordination mechanism,
such as regular meetings or a centralized information hub,to share data and prevent
redundancy.
Fourth,we will develop programs tailored to address specific unmet needs identified through the
assessment.Our team will ensure these programs complement rather than replicate existing
services.Our curriculums will prioritize initiatives that fill the identified gaps and cater to
underserved populations.
Last,our team will implement a robust monitoring and evaluation system to continuously assess
the impact of the Reach Beyond Program.This will include regular review of data on service
utilization,community feedback,and outcomes to make informed adjustments and prevent
duplication.Regular assessments and adjustments will ensure the program remains responsive
to evolving community dynamics and relevant social justice issues.
By following this comprehensive plan,Reach Counseling will develop the Reach Beyond
program so that it is data-driven,avoids duplication,and effectively meets the unique needs of
the community.
