FCSS Social Needs Assessment Survey

Foothills County FCSS is undertaking a Social Needs Assessment to identify and further understand the unique needs and challenges County residents are facing. Your input is needed! We are looking for responses from adults and youth within the County.
 
The information gathered through this survey will be used to help Foothills County FCSS ensure that the programs, services and supports funded by FCSS directly reflect and address the needs of County residents.
 

Please complete the community survey by June 30, 2025.
