In 2016, Erie County conducted a community needs assessment plan to identify issues influencing the health and quality of life of older adults and residents of all ages.
If your organization has recently completed an assessment of community needs in Erie County, let us know! Please send us reports, summaries, or data you can share with others in the Age Friendly Initiative that communicate specific needs within our community.
Email: Ryan.Gadzo@erie.gov
Phone: 716-858-7096
Representatives from over 90 local organizations participated in the Age Friendly Erie County Needs Assessment Workshop in February 2015 to kick off planning efforts.
