Asset Mapping
We propose to:
1.) approach the building of a Hartford model as a community effort in which children, families, community leaders and the organizations that make up the working group come together;
2.) enhance existing community partnerships, as well as form new collaborative relationships, that are both high quality and hold partners to a high standard of accountability;
3.) create an initiative comprehensive enough to meet community needs;
4.) select the initial community segment, and subsequent community segments, and design the plan with careful and thorough data-driven evaluation.
