Feedback from Other Communities Using the Toolkit

Tacoma, WA: "The Toolkit provided an excellent framework for thinking about community needs and assets in a comprehensive way and served to broaden the ... appreciation of the need for planning that addresses the concerns of all people, regardless of age. In short, it arrived at a most appropriate time in the life of the coalition and helped prompt interest in seeking new stakeholders and looking anew at areas of
common interest."

Denver, CO: "The Toolkit is excellent. It encourages flexibility and creative approaches. It helps provide a structure for a very
open-ended situation."

Atlanta, GA: "The most helpful part is the examples of what other communities have done. People can't discuss what they don't know."

Consultant with community groups in NY, ME, and IN: "Overall everyone buys into the concept and loves the Toolkit."
