Needs assessment plan for potential program

Needs assessment plan for potential program: One of the many reasons social workers conduct needs assessment is to provide support for newprograms. Social workers have many methods available to collect necessary data for a needsassessment.Social workers can use existing data from a wide range of sources, including local and national reports by government and nonprofit agencies, as well as computerized mapping resources. Social workers can gather new data through interviews and surveys with individuals and focus groups. This data can provide the evidence that supports the need for the program.
