This section describes the Current Condition and how to write a Condition Statement. An example is provided.
The foundation of a well-designed project is based on the effective identification and analysis of current, measurable community barrier preventing the community from achieving the identified long-term goals. Using a community-based assessment process is the starting point for identifying the specific community barriers to be addressed by a project. The community identifies those barriers through the community planning processes and is documented in: community meeting minutes, surveys, focus group and other engagement activity documentation. Next a specific barrier is identified to work on through a project. A statement is written to describe the barrier.
