Introduction:

Thank you in advance for taking the time to respond to the questions in this assessment. 
We are requesting your assistance in collecting important data about our community. 
The data collected will help us get a better idea of what the current conditions are in our community and what members of the community believe are the biggest problems and needs. 
This assessment aims to gather information that relates to the health, access to healthcare, housing, education, childcare, economic conditions, transportation, safety, access to food, and other resources and services in our counties (Cherokee, Clay, Graham, and Swain).
The information that you provide will be kept anonymous (no one will know who said what) and will be used to help us develop plans for how to address the issues. 
Your input will also help us to document and justify the need for additional assistance and request funding and other resources that may be available to address the issues that need the most improvement according to you, the members of our Four Square Community.
