The Other Nine | Community Needs Assessment

In 2015, Challenge of Tarrant County compiled data from community leaders and their organizations to create the Tarrant County Community Needs Assessment titled "The Other Nine." The work is based on the statistical fact that only one out of ten people struggling with Substance Use Disorder (SUD) are able to find the help they need.


What happens to the other nine? The Community Needs Assessment illuminates the human and financial toll of untreated SUD in Tarrant County.
