Survey Report
Authors Gena S. Gunn, Jennifer Heffern
This paper reports on a survey of selected organizations and coalitions in
the Black Belt that was conducted as part of SRABC's multi-year strategy
plan. The assessment survey was created by project partners and administered online to
gather information from organizations in the region. A database of
organizations in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi was developed, and
representatives from these organizations were invited to participate in this
survey.
The survey was designed to accomplish three main objectives, as part of
SRABC's overall strategic action plan:
1. Identify organizations that are well-connected to asset-building
coalitions and networks in the region and identify the range of economic
development services offered by these organizations.
2. Establish baseline data on asset-building organizations, coalitions, and
networks and the types of services they offer in the areas of asset
leveraging, asset protection, asset preservation, and hurricane recovery.
3. Use survey data analysis to create a strategic assessment tool that could
be used by SRABC partners and member organizations to develop a more
effective and inclusive asset-building framework and policy agenda for the
region that would strengthen asset-building efforts and initiatives.
