Abstract

Over the past few decades, Loudoun County, Virginia, has experienced dramatic economic and population growth and diversification. Though one of the wealthiest localities in the nation, the county has faced challenges in meeting the demands for increased human services associated with the county’s rapid development and growth. In 2016–2017 and within this dynamic and challenging context, the county partnered with the Virginia Tech Institute of Policy and Governance to conduct a needs assessment to identify service, resource, and funding gaps and to develop recommendations to improve the ability of Loudoun nonprofits and public agencies to meet existing and emerging resident needs. The academic, local government, and nonprofit engagement resulted in targeted strategies and served as a mechanism to move the cross-sector relationship toward increased sustained collaboration. This case study provides an overview of the academic research, the assessment process and results, and the marked achievements and challenges of the process.  Subscribe to JNEL

在过去的几十年里,弗吉尼亚州劳顿县经历了巨大的经济和人口增长以及多样化。虽然该县是全国最富有的地区之一,但该县在满足与该县快速发展和增长相关的人力服务需求方面面临着挑战。2016-2017年,在这种充满活力和挑战的背景下,该县与弗吉尼亚理工大学政策与治理研究所合作,进行了需求评估,以确定服务、资源和资金缺口,并提出建议,以提高劳顿非营利组织和公共机构满足现有和新出现的居民需求的能力。学术界、地方政府和非营利组织的参与产生了有针对性的战略,并作为一种机制,推动跨部门关系朝着增加持续合作的方向发展。本案例研究概述了学术研究、评估过程和结果,以及过程中取得的显著成就和面临的挑战。订阅JNEL
