Community Needs Assessment
The 2017 community needs assessment study — initiated by the Community Foundation and the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation — gives a clear view of Collier County and the needs of its residents. Data includes demographic and socio-economic characteristics, as well as an appraisal of economic, physical, service and social environments. The study also analyzes foundational issues that impact quality of life and county assets. This survey was conducted because we know residents — seasonal or year-round — care about needs in our community and how we can meet them.
