The Neighborhood Services & Resource Gap Community Needs Assessment Survey is a comprehensive tool designed to help local governments, nonprofits, and community organizations understand the real needs of residents. It captures demographic background, household profiles, and satisfaction ratings for existing services, giving planners a clear picture of what's working and what's falling short.

This template is ideal for city planners, neighborhood associations, social service agencies, and community development organizations seeking data-driven insights. It covers critical areas including service satisfaction, resource gap identification, access barriers, and resident willingness to engage in follow-up planning activities—ensuring a well-rounded view of community priorities.

By deploying this survey, organizations can prioritize resource investments, apply for grants with supporting evidence, and foster greater civic engagement. The structured ranking and open-ended questions ensure both quantitative and qualitative data are captured, empowering decision-makers to take meaningful, community-informed action.
