The Calvert County Family Network (CCFN) has released its 2024 Community Needs Assessment, focusing on the well-being of children, youth and families. This comprehensive report examines local data in relation to Maryland’s Eight Results for Child Well-Being, which include: Babies Born Healthy, Healthy Children, Children Enter School Ready to Learn, Children are Successful in School, Youth will Complete School, Youth have Opportunities for Employment or Career Readiness, Communities are Safe for Children, Youth and Families, and Families are Economically Stable. The findings from this assessment will serve as a foundation for CCFN’s five-year community plan. By incorporating community input, this strategic plan will outline targeted initiatives to address key areas of need, driving improvements in overall well-being.
"The assessment gives us a clear picture of what the community needs, which helps us plan better services for kids, teens, and families in the county," said Community Resources Director Jennifer Moreland. "This data shows us the key areas where support is most crucial, so we can make sure resources go where they'll make the biggest difference."
