Communities Speak - Take the community needs assessment survey now!

The best designed urban policy is informed by real experiences. Through community engagement, Communities Speak seeks to hear from Chattanoogans. We identify demographic correlations by analyzing socioeconomic and sociocultural factors that inform shared and unique challenges, desires, and visions for the City.

Development

During this phase we will be developing relationships with community organizations with the goal of adding them to the overall project as partners. The initial survey instrument and questions will also be developed with our partners during this phase of the project.

Our Partners

A diverse group of committed community partners is critical to our success. Our partners include advocacy, policy, social service, small business workforce development organizations representing all Chattanooga’s diverse communities. Our partners also include elected officials and government agencies who can directly impact policy.

Communities Speaks Partners

no participants

We are looking for dedicated community oriented organizations to partner with the city. Communities Speak partners are involved in the design of the questionnaire; the dissemination of the survey; the development of data-driven policy recommendations; and policy town meetings. 

Communities Speak partnerships are an excellent opportunity for your organization to help set the city’s priorities by being part of the city’s policy conversation.
