Abstract	The Wraparound Services Department connects students and their families with non-academic community resources that support the students' ability to learn in school. The district currently partners with over 200 community organizations to offer wraparound services across 210 campuses. Wraparound Services Specialists in these campuses work with various organizations to address student and family needs within the domains of mental and physical health, food and housing insecurity, home and neighborhood safety, and out-of-school educational needs. With support from the Houston Endowment and the City of Houston, Houston Independent School District (HISD) has recently committed to expanding its Wraparound Services Program. Dubbed the "Supporting Students, Uplifting Communities" initiative, HISD seeks to increase the number of Wraparound Services Specialists from 210 to 280, ensuring that every campus in the district has at least one dedicated full-time specialist by the 2021-22 school year. Additionally, to better align the services that wraparound specialists have available to them with student and family needs, the district created and administered the first annual Needs Assessment Survey in Fall 2019. The survey was administered to students, parents, and teachers at existing wraparound campuses. In total, 51,769 students, 5,305 parents, and 4,698 teachers completed the survey. The survey asked respondents to identify non-academic needs across five key domains: (1) health, dental, and hygiene needs; (2) emotional and psychological needs, (3) home and family needs, (4) educational and vocational needs, and (5) social and recreational need. The purpose of this brief is to provide an overview of how campus needs vary by neighborhood location and campus characteristics. This brief is divided into five sections: (1) Section I explores how the needs of students vary by campus characteristics (economic disadvantage, limited English proficiency, and special education); (2) Section II compares the needs at Achieve 180 campuses to the needs at non-Achieve 180 campuses; (3) Section III presents maps illustrating the geographic distribution of high need campuses across HISD; (4) Section IV provides tables ranking all current wraparound campuses by their level of need; and (5) Section V highlights the five highest need campuses for each question asked on the survey.
