Mission and programs · 2022

• RESEARCH AND PROGRAM EVALUATION: OUR RESEARCH IS THE CORNERSTONE OF OUR WORK. THROUGH A HIGHLY QUALITATIVE APPROACH WHERE WE HEAR FROM MILITARY FAMILIES IN THEIR OWN WORDS, MFAN IS ABLE TO IDENTIFY EMERGING NEEDS AND EMPOWER OUR COMMUNITY AND PARTNERS TO SET AN AGENDA GROUNDED IN LIVED EXPERIENCES. THE MILITARY FAMILY SUPPORT PROGRAMMING SURVEY, HELPS US GAIN INSIGHT INTO THE SUPPORT NEEDS OF OUR NATION'S MILITARY, VETERANS, AND THEIR FAMILIES. THIS BIENNIAL SURVEY PROVIDES A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF MILITARY AND VETERAN FAMILIES, COVERING TOPICS SUCH AS WELL-BEING, CHILD CARE, FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS, FINANCES, FOOD SECURITY, HOUSING, AND TRANSITION.THE FINDINGS FROM THIS RESEARCH SHAPE OUR PROGRAMMING, AS THEY ILLUMINATE AREAS WHERE MILITARY FAMILIES SEEK ADDITIONAL SUPPORT, EDUCATION, AND RESOURCES. THIS ALLOWS US TO BRING TOGETHER AND INFORM NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, ARMED FORCES LEADERSHIP, POLICYMAKERS, AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS TO ENACT POSITIVE CHANGE FOR THE MILITARY COMMUNITY. MFAN'S CONSTANT GOAL IS TO SHORTEN THE AMOUNT OF TIME BETWEEN THE IDENTIFICATION OF AN ISSUE AND THE DEPLOYMENT OF A SOLUTION. COLLECTING AND SHARING DATA IS ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAYS TO DO THAT. THE MILITARY FAMILY SUPPORT PROGRAMMING SURVEY IS THE FOUNDATION OF MFAN'S RESEARCH PORTFOLIO.
