The Sweetwater County Tripartite Board retained Corona Research
in September, 2002, to conduct a study of the current Service
Delivery system for low-income households in Sweetwater County.
This study was performed in accordance with the county's Community
Service Block Grant (CSBG) requirements, which state that Sweetwater
County must develop a Community Action Plan to comply with federal
funding requirements. The results of this study, provided herein,
comprise foundational research for the county's Community Action
Plan.
The primary purpose of this study was to examine the current
service delivery system in Sweetwater County and compare the
services that are currently being delivered with both short-term
and long-term needs of the low-income population in the county.
Ultimately, research findings in this study revealed the service
categories with the greatest existing and projected "gaps"
in service, based on available data/.
