Over the past two years, the Greater Akron LGBTQ+ Community Needs Assessment worked to capture as many local LGBTQ+ voices as possible. The goal was to collect data and organize it into a format that could help community partners (such as homeless shelters, schools, churches, universities, counselors, hospitals, and other service providers) and community leaders and members to make better decisions that are more aligned with the actual needs of LGBTQ+ people in Greater Akron.
