This request is to conduct a one-time
data collection effort, anticipated to take place in 2007 by the
Office of the Assistant Secretary of Planning and Evaluation (ASPE)
at U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Faith-based
and community organization (FBCOs) have been a critical component
of the post-Katrina relief and recovery efforts in the Gulf Coast
region. However systematic information on their level of effort,
types of services, networks used to provide services, or
relationships with government agencies, is very sparse.
