The Westchester County Youth Bureau is requesting proposals from qualified proposers to conduct a countywide Community Needs Assessment specific to
children, youth and families. The Needs Assessment will serve to identify existing resources, assess persistent needs, emerging trends and detect gaps in services. The proposal due date is Sept. 30 at 4 p.m.
“Given the ripple effect of Covid-19 and the ongoing needs of children, youth, and families, the Needs Assessment is timely and needed,” Westchester County
Executive George Latimer said.“It is always our mission to better understand the needs of Westchester County’s residents which is why our leadership within
the Youth Bureau and other departments are examining various aspects of the community.”
Recognizing the breadth of this project, the Youth Bureau has created a work group comprised of Youth Board members and community stakeholders that
will collaborate with the selected contractor to support the Needs Assessment.
“The Youth Bureau is committed to ongoing learning and informed decision making,” said Dr. DaMia Harris-Madden, Youth Bureau director. “For the past three years, we have planned and implemented policies to improve the quality of youth service delivery; yet, the Needs Assessment designed with a participatory evaluation lens, will strengthen our aims and identify the vast strengths and opportunities where children, youth, and families are concerned.”

questions may be directed to the Youth Bureau at 995-2745.
