[ Big Water Launch ] ​Warm Springs Housing Study and Needs Assessment Field Staff Training​

​ 03/18/2024

March 18th to 20th, 2024 marked the Field Staff Training for Warm Springs Housing Study and Needs Assessment. 

Nestled in Central Oregon, the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs are dedicated to uplifting their communities and preserving their heritage. The Warm Springs data collection team, including one Survey Manager and 3 local Field Staff, met alongside Big Water for three days to gear up for the crucial household survey data collection phase of the Needs Assessment. The field team spent time learning about the project's significance and got hands-on training with the data collection software. 

The Warm Springs Housing Study and Needs Assessment, funded by the Health and Human Services Department and carried out by the Warm Springs Housing Authority, aims to gather crucial data about the households and residents on the Reservation. This information will empower the Tribes and their communities to secure funding, plan strategically, and enhance access to vital services. Official data collection kicked off on March 20th and will run until the end of May. 

Congratulations to the dedicated field staff!
