Understanding Communities Today: Using Matching Needs and Services to Assess Community Needs and Design Community-Based Services
Taylor, Kenneth I.
Child Welfare, v84 n2 p251 Mar 2005
Matching Needs and Services (MNS) is a practice tool intended to help people who work with vulnerable children use rigorously assembled information on needs as a guide to design, implement, and evaluate more-effective services. To do this, MNS focuses on needs but links them to outcomes and thresholds before dealing with the services to achieve those outcomes.
