]]> County Resource Map – fillable excel file https://calworksnextgen.org/county-resource-map-fillable-excel-file/ Thu, 10 May 2018 18:41:31 +0000 http://calworksnextgen.org/?p=1137 The County Resource Map is designed to make it easy for program administrators to identify how program resource allocations align with program services priorities and the community needs. The result of the resource mapping activity is an easy to reference guide for all staff to access that provides an up-to-date menu of what activities and services are available. The guide simultaneously allows administrators to reflect on intentionality in resources allocation and to facilitate staff demonstration of intentionality in activity selection.

How to use: A program administrator with the greatest depth of knowledge of the services and activities available in the county will populate the resource by following the instructions in the first tab of the Excel sheet. Then at regular intervals determined by the county the resources should be updated. Provided the map output to staff for reference in making intentional service selection decisions. As part of the county assessment and goal setting process, review the map alongside the county self-assessment tool to analyze areas for continuous quality improvement.
