Fulfilling the Commitment to Our Community: A Needs Assessment for Urban Disabled and Elder Natives

A needs assessment of disabled urban Natives and Native elders.

There are few sustainable, culturally-competent programs to support the urban disabled and Elder AI/AN population in King County, Wash. To inform individuals and organizations that work with urban AI/AN populations, Urban Indian Health Institute (UIHI) gathered and analyzed data from survey results and key-informant interviews with community members residing in King County, Wash. to better understand the needs of the disabled and Elder AI/AN community. Out of this information, UIHI created this Needs Assessment.
