A. Identify Service Gaps

Titusville Social Services Ad Hoc Committee · 2026-05-20 · agenda_item

The Titusville Social Services Ad Hoc Committee is reviewing ways to identify community service gaps and improve how data is collected from residents. The committee is looking at barriers that prevent people from using current services, such as not knowing what is available, limited hours, and discomfort with the facility. The facility is currently underused, with few ongoing services, and has seen reduced community involvement. To better understand needs, the committee is considering using focus groups with diverse residents and possibly a neutral third-party facilitator. They want to know what services people want, why they might not participate, and how to make the facility more welcoming. This review is in the early stages, allowing businesses to engage before specific plans are made. The project could involve outreach, data collection, and potentially new programming or facility improvements. Contractors, consultants, and service providers focused on community engagement, research, and social services could find opportunities by connecting with the committee early.
