This is an example of a Community Scan provided by Comunidad Partners. A Community Scan is one of the threshold requirements for the CORES Certification.

A Community Scan should include (1) local data to give insights about the surrounding neighborhood/community, (2) a review (identification of) and (3) assessment (analysis of the quality) of existing local amenities, services, community assets, potential partners and other resources in the larger community prior to delivery of services and programs. This scan should be updated at least once every six years.

Comunidad Partners considers several factors (accessibility, resident priorities, reputation, and measurable outcomes) to determine a quality "rating" of the different resource organizations included in their Community Scan.
