Life Needs Assessment Tool

January 17, 2024

FOCUS Greater Syracuse, Inc. partnered with the CNY Community Foundation to conduct an ongoing, enhanced version of the Life Needs Assessment.

TAKE THE LIFE NEEDS ASSESSMENT

New in 2025

  • Once you have completed the assessment, you can choose to receive a text/email about available services and organizations that you might find helpful based on your responses.
  • Rest assured, your information and responses will not be shared with these organizations.

What is the Life Needs Assessment?

  • The Life Needs Assessment poses questions regarding the personal needs of our community members. FOCUS has added questions to help us understand the perceptions of community needs and awareness of how organizations and individuals can get involved in addressing those needs. 

 Why is it helpful?

  • Your responses help FOCUS understand important issues and decide on topics for FOCUS Forums, community programs, as well as partnerships. This is part of our Mission to facilitate education and community involvement.

How does it work?

  • The online assessment was released in April 2022 and will remain open to the public indefinitely.
  • The assessment will take about five minutes to complete.
  • Rest assured, your information will be kept confidential by FOCUS & the CNY Community Foundation.
