Community Social Needs Assessment

A social needs assessment is an in-depth community engagement campaign to ensure residents are heard and involved. Understanding what is impacting a community, what can be done, who should be involved, and what roles they should have, is critical for effective and efficient service delivery.

In 2018 the City of Lloydminster’s Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) department held the previous Social Needs Assessment. View the Lloyd Needs Video to learn what was heard and what was done to meet those needs in the past five years.

This year we launched another assessment in order to connect with residents, stakeholders, and local partners to gain a better understanding of current social needs. From April 11 to May 30, 2022, the public was asked to complete the Lloyd Needs survey.

The information collected through the survey will be used to create a five to ten-year Social Policy Framework in 2023. A Social Policy Framework provides direction and support to City initiatives that will have an impact on social well-being. It is a high-level strategic document that is intended to be fluid and measurable.

• A tool to identify the social needs of Lloydminster, what is important to the community, and measure the impact of social programs and policy.
• A strategic direction for the City and our public and private partners in collaborating to build social well-being.
• A lens to see opportunities to develop social well-being through all City departments.
