COMMUNITY REPORT CARD
Funding and other resources for human services are
being stretched increasingly thinner. Reliable and
current data is needed to make the most effective
use of those resources. In 2000, several leading
nonprofits joined together to explore creation of a
“data repository” and community report card. The
Report Card incorporates data from a variety of
sources, including a large household survey, to
assess several facets of life in Jackson. The
United Way served as fiduciary, and eventually
engaged the Human Service Coordinating Alliance in
supporting and enhancing the Report Card.
