Human Trafficking Data Needs Assessment (Closes 10/31)
Oregon DOJ is partnering with Prevention Now – a local anti-trafficking nonprofit – to conduct a 3-year Human Trafficking Data Needs Assessment (HTDNA) across the state. The HTDNA will provide a multi-disciplinary, cross-system view into the current human trafficking data collections efforts, needs, and barriers for both government agencies and nonprofits.
The first part of the assessment is a brief survey, and we’d greatly value your participation. The more information we gain, the better we’ll be able to understand the current landscape of data collection and use.
You can take the ~10 min survey here: Human Trafficking Data Needs Assessment
Please note that the survey is anonymous, meaning it can’t be tracked or used to identify respondents, and it will be live until October 31. Feel free to reach out to prevention@prevention-now.org if you have any questions.

Project Access NOW (PANOW) is a community-based organization established 16 years ago to help people access health promoting services. In short, PANOW helps those without resources navigate a complicated – and unjust – health system. PANOW is looking for feedback on what “access NOW” should mean for its next strategic plan. And they are looking to connect with housing CBOs to think about how to collaborate differently in light of healthcare policy changes.
Carly Hood-Ronick, PANOW’s CEO, is organizing two sessions for dialogue about opportunities for CBO collaboration and refreshments will be provided. Sharing this in case you are able to join Carly and the team at one of the dates below.
Click here to register for one or both sessions. If you cannot join either, Carly is happy to have a 1:1 conversation or you can complete this survey to offer input. This will be a candid in-person space, non-recorded, reserved for CBOs only.
- Session 1 of 2: Tuesday, November 28th 10am – 12pm
- Session 2 of 2: Wednesday, December 6th 1pm – 3pm
